Sherri Rapp: I am a living history enthusiast and amateur researcher in North Carolina. My primary eras of interest are the American War of Independence and the Eastern Front of World War 2. I have been involved in living history since 2002 and my portrayals have included (for the American War of Independence) British and Continental drummer, British regular soldier, Loyalist soldier, militia, and (for WW2) Soviet medic. My primary research focus is the material culture (clothing, equipment, accoutrements) of the military musicians of the British armed forces of 1760-1800 and the Red Army medics of World War 2. I am the editor of a translated 1939 Soviet medic manual (http://www.amazon.com/dp/149121824X) and a 1941 manual on incendiary device tactics (http://www.amazon.com/Instruction-Incendiary-Bottles-Army-Manual/dp/1495237729/). I maintain a page on Scribd.com of slideshows pertaining to the 18th Century British army and, more specifically, its drummers, fifers, and musicians. Finally, I host a Facebook group on 18th century British drummers, fifers, musicians, and the clothing and equipment they used at https://www.facebook.com/groups/150614468450256/.
