The Battle of Okinawa, fought from April to June 1945, was the largest and bloodiest battle of the Pacific Theater in World War II. The intense combat was marked by kamikaze attacks, brutal ground fighting, and high civilian casualties. The battle was the fiercest in the Pacific Theater, with some 50,000 Allied and 100,000 Japanese casualties, not including the local Okinawans who were conscripted into the Japanese Army. It is estimated that over 149,000 Okinawan people were killed. The Allied victory at Okinawa provided a critical staging ground for a potential invasion of mainland Japan, but the staggering loss of life and the fierce Japanese resistance significantly influenced the U.S. decision to use atomic bombs to end the war swiftly. Okinawa underscored the heavy cost of victory in the Pacific and hastened the final chapter of the war. Pacific war camps and aircraft will be set up and on display throughout the day. The battle re-enactment starts around 1 PM.![]()

1778 64th Light Infantry Co. At AHM
June 5, 2021 @ 10:00 am, ending 5:00 pm
$20
The 64th Light Infantry Company portrays the original Company that was commanded by Captain Thomas Armstrong until 1778. The Company was then taken over by Captain William Snow for the remainder of the war. As we are portraying an actual Regiment, we strive to be as accurate as possible, using period source documents to support any changes made to uniforms and/or kits. Our goal is to educate the public about the role of British soldiers and the 64th Regiment of Foot for the time period of 1775 to 1781 during the American Revolution.
The re-enactor group is based in New England with members in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. It’s a family-friendly unit and you’ll often find wives, girlfriends, and children depicting Camp Followers, offering cooking demonstrations, showing spectators period toys, and more.
