Newville, PA / Kurland Brückenkopf

Food:
Of course we will be portraying men who were under minor siege conditions, so food should be that of German iron rations, food scrounged from the local areas, & rations brought up from the "Goulash Kannon." Remember you will have to be able to carry it in the field so use common sense. Of course all items must be wrapped in period style and have period labels (nothing modern).

Appearance:
Hair should resemble a period style cut. Short on sides and sort of long on top. If you do not hair a proper period hair cut, WE WILL CUT IT FOR YOU!
