The pair have "a passion for Military History and love to recreate it;" they were members of "Sir Marmadaduke Rawdon's Regiment of Foote", which is a Royalist foot regiment of the King's Army, part of the British historical re-enactment group, the English Civil War Society. They have also belonged to other re-enactment groups. With the help of their friend John Stallard, they published an actual-size, full colour facsimile of a unique officer’s handbook, "The Art of Martial Discipline", which had been in their collection for some years.
