'Depicting scenes from history is a delicate matter, particularly if the events being presented are still
 within living  memory. The war which ripped apart Yugoslavia and dominated news broadcasts in the
 1990s is a case in point. The period is now the subject of interpretation by a living history group
 which shows how the lives of the men and women involved in this conflict were affected.
 There is no other group in my opinion which is better qualified to depict this politically
 sensitive period than the Croatian Forces Living History Group, some members of which saw
 service in the bloody war which set neighbours against one another. We have to accept that more
 recent history has to be told as much as the older periods and in the case of this conflict it is
 done exceptionally well and with due reverence, which can only be achieved by those who were
 there and understand events from the inside. For anyone to doubt the veracity of this they should ask
 themselves 'how would I have conducted myself ?'
 Veterans of the Vietnam War now accept living history and so it is with the war from Croatia. The
 war which happened in the region formerly known as Yugoslavia may not be to everyone's taste, but
 it is a historical fact and the Croatian Forces Living History Group portray it sympathetically
 and with good grace, because some members of the group know from first hand experience
 and this comes across at displays without any need to boast or glorify the fact through such
 interpretation and presentations that future generations will remember what occurred and try to
 make sense of a conflict which all but destroyed a once stable country known as Yugoslavia'.
