World War I Reenactor's
Morsels of Authenticity

What, you may be asking is a "Morsel of Authenticity"? Well, it simply is a term Marsh came up with to mean a short article on some reenacting subject. As time goes by, we hope to add more and more of these articles. In fact, right now, this is the only Morsel page working on reenactor.Net! Right now, we have five good articles for your information.

• Fine-Tuning your German Uniform--The first of these excellent articles was done by Steve Fisher of J.R. 111 and is a truly revealing article on how to make your uniform much more authentic.
• Making a Felt Pickelhaube--by Mike Gonzales of J.R. 23. This detailed article will guide the reader into making a usable Spiked Helmet.
• Das Ersaztwesen (or, the Replacement System)--by Louis Plack, J.R. 459. An enlightening article on Germany's system of the Draft (read right before bedtime).
• Der Unterwäschausruf--by Ernst Deksheimer, Yes, an article on PERIOD underwear. Why?, you may ask, well some of us just want to do it a little bit more authentic than most...
• On The Home Front; The Production and Use of Ersatz Goods--by Marc Benedict of J.R. 120. Wow! This article explains the many innovations forced upon the Germans during the war. "Make do" was a way of life then!
