Alrighty, as I'm sure you all know I am the webmaster for Easy39th. Everything seems to be going okay so far, the servers are still running and last of the major updates seem to be completed. It's been going for the past year and I have good hopes that it will continue to grow. Thank you to everybody that contributed and helped make this site possible.

So what is this Articles page all about? Well, so far I've written a lot of html (everything is scripted in Notepad) and tried to put up as many pictures as I could get ahold of. With the exception of several pages, much of the site is written by myself. I thought it was about time we had a section where anybody could write up an article and have it posted right here on this page for all to read. Especially for reenactors and members of the CHG, this is your place to input your thoughts and contributions to our website.

You can submit anything you want. As long as it relates to hobby, provides a positive attitude, and preferably in English, it'll be posted! You may write about anything pertaining to WW2, whether it be research on soldier life, weapons training and safety, your experiences as a WW2 reenactor, historical events, how to rebuild jeep engines, photographs, eBay tips, etc... it's up to you. Remember, this is your chance to post your research or thoughts and let it be read by others. I highly encourage all CHG members to participate.

Please do not plagiarize other peoples' work. I will not be held responsable for stolen and uncredited articles. Remember high school rules on citing?

Lastly, if there is anything you would like to see, please don't hesitate to drop me an e-mail. The forums are also a great place to share information. To submit an article, just click on Bob Blair below. Please include your name and reenacting unit with your article. Thank you.
