The German group was founded in 1991 as Co. A, 1st North Carolina Cavalry. Since that date we have portrayed this famous unit of the WBTS. It was also during this year when the members of the group participated in their first reenactment and they have been doing so steadily now for 14 years.

The group is not only participating in the German main events, but the members also are present on various other activities (winter camps, drill camps, and etcetera) in Germany and abroad.

Over the intervening years a lot of additional material like uniforms, arms, etc. was assemled by the group, so we are able to provide newcomers and guests with the necessary equipment to participate in reenactments and camps. Additional to a lot of books in German and English, each member has several uniforms and a large number of authentic equipment. So the menbers of Co. G are able to portray every period of the war true to original.

Because most of the members don´t have the chance to have their own horse we basically portray cavalrymen fighting on foot - dismounted. This doesn't mean that horsemen are not welcome, far from it! Even though we are mostly dismounted, the members of the group have to be ready to get involved in supporting the mounted comrades in watering, feeding and saddling the horses. This is regular duty at reenactments since 1999. In addition, it´s possible to get mounted if a horse is available and the man has enough experience to participate in combat on horseback.

The internet has opened the future to the group. In summer 1998 we got in touch with the 1st N.C. Cavalry in the USA. From that initial contact strong friendships with the comrades in the Unites States arose. As a result of this, the German Co. A begame Co. G of the 1st N.C. Cavalry International. Since September 1998, Co. G has had its own Homepage, which is very helpful with keeping in contact and socializing with new members.
