220 Sawblade Rd., Bedford, PA 15522
Good afternoon to all of the soldier of Birney's 2d Battalion. General Kelley is calling our force to Old Bedford Village next month in order to quell the Rebel hoard now moving its way into Pennsylvania! General Kelley reports that we are looking at 200 plus Confederate troops so it will be a target-rich environment.
As many of you know, OBV is a max effort event for Birney's Division as a whole organization and 2d Battalion used to go every year. Because of the schedule of events here in Ohio, it has been hard to get over there but you requested that we make every effort in 2013. The time is here!!
Pre-registration ($6.00) is still open and walk-ons are welcome. If you are a Birney's Division unit, you are already covered under the organization's insurance policy. You can download the registration form at http://www.oldbedfordvillage.com/reenactorRegistration.pdf
At this time, I would like any 2d Battalion units or associated units to report a ball park number of MILITARY personnel who will be attending the Old Bedford Village event.
Please send your preliminary numbers to Captain Dave Strichko at bidelectric@windstream.net. If you just have a few members of your unit planning to go, please let Capt. Stritchko know and we will get you folded in to the company of your choice.
Your Servant,
Christopher L. Smith, Colonel
