Welcome to El Primer Batallón Ligero de Voluntarios de Aragón  1805-1809 One of the few reenacting groups in Spain.

El de la izquierda es el Capitán, bicornio más grande, espada y charreteras en sus dos hombros. El de la derecha es un fusilero, fusil, casaca más corta, polainas y cartuchera ventral. Este Batallón se cubrió de gloria durante los Sitios de Zaragoza (1808-1809). The officer on the left is the Captain, with the larger bicorn, sword, and epaulettes on both shoulders.  The fusilero, on the right, has his fusil, shorter coat, polainas and ventral cartridge box. This Battalion covered itself with glory during the Siege of Zaragoza (1808-1809).

At the present time, this page is written in mixed Spanish and English, but it will eventually become a bilingual page, where you will be able to choose the language.

The organization is centered in Zaragoza, Spain and was founded by Luis Sorando.
He has worked with the Museum of the Army (El Museo del Ejercito) in Madrid, collaborating in creating the current catalog for the museum.
• This museum includes many exhibits of interest to reenactors in the United States, including an original cuera from the Spanish Colonial times, and a flag captured by Marshall Bernardo Galvez from the British during the times of the American Revolution.
In spite of the fact that there are serious difficulties starting such a group in Spain, such as a lack of sutlers and the fact that guns are very difficult to own, our group is growing and expanding.
