I know of Steve Alexander, I had his book, which had a fantastic full-length single colour plate of Custer dressed in his buckskins, hat, pistols and carrying a rifle in camp, the best I've ever seen. However, is Steve the Custer 'officially' or are there others who portray him at reenactments ? If so, it must look very strange seeing several of him together !
There are zero Col Durnford Reenactors, everybody seemingly wanting to be from the 24th because of Isandhlwana and Rorke's Drift, almost totally excluding any other units. A bit boring if I was to be honest about it.
Col Durnford of the Royal Engineers was the senior officer at Isandhlwana, his uniform in my view the most interesting, a definite personality to portray at reenactments, but no.
Lt. Chard of the Royal Engineers was the senior officer at Rorke's Drift, but again, not portrayed at reenactments.
It's the 24th redcoats every time, kinda defeats the fact of how many men of other units were present.
