Battle of Klushino 1610 (Joe's Pics) 400th Anniversary re-enactment event On July 3-4, 2010, in lush parkland on the banks of the River Vistula in Warsaw, Poland, a battle re-enactment and festival took place. It was to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Battle of Klushino (July 4, 1610). The event ranks as one of the biggest 17th-century festivals in Europe in 2010 so far. There were over 800 participants, including 130 cavalry, of which there were 80 of the famous Polish Winged Hussars. The participants came from Poland, Australia, Belarus, Czech Republic, Germany, Russia, Sweden, Ukraine, and the USA. For those of you who were unable to attend this memorable event, here is a link to a walkthrough in pictures of the bivouacs (Saturday 3rd July) and the battle re-enactment (4th July): link |

Absolutely great reference pic's! And if you scroll down to the 9th picture in line, I would gladly re-enact almost anything with the young lady pictured! Not so much the guy in front of the matchlock display a little further on though. Bill Sir William the Aged warsoflouisxiv.blogspot.com |

Not so much the guy in front of the matchlock display a little further on though. Agreed. Let's get the young Polish ladies and the wheel locks together! |

Great pictures, but the bloke in number 19 seems to have forgotten his keks! |

Nice pictures and looked like a great event. Who knew that Magic the Gathering was available in 1610. You learn something new everyday. |

Every time I see comments like this, I'm reminded of Terry Thomas in "It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World"
and this positively infantile preoccupation with bosoms. In all my time in this wretched Godforsaken country, the one thing that has appalled me most of all is this prepostrous preoccupation with bosoms. Don't you realize they have become the dominant theme in American culture: in literature, advertising and all fields of entertainment and everything. I'll wager you anything you like that if American women stopped wearing brassieres, your whole national economy would collapse overnight. Personally, I was more impressed with the dealers offering wheellocks

Flintloque; With all due respect, I was quite impressed by the panoply and obvious expense of the magnificent Hussars and Pancerni in review, the excellent recreations of correct armor, swords, matchlocks, wheellocks and artillery, and the dedication involved when participants from 9 countries stage an event of this type. However, my feeble efforts at light humor aside, I am neither so Aged or so jaded as to not be appreciative of the simple, yet elegant, presentation of just enough of the female form to stir the imagination. I would gladly trade a boatload of Kardashians, Lohans, Hiltons, Madonna's and GaGa's for a simple yet stunning lass such as that depicted. Excellent movie reference by the way. However, director Stanley Kramer's 1963 comedy failed to take into account the "Summer of Love" and its ensuing effect on fashion and personal taste. We did indeed do quite well without the brassieres for a few fondly-remembered years. But, enough nostalgia, back to regular programming
