I meant that the FMVA never existed from a legal perspective which was one of the reasons we voted to merge with the OMVA.
The Frontenac Battalion does exist from a legal perspective as it is the legal name of my prop rental business and vehicle collection.
I'm not here to fight about this, I am here to promote the event in Odessa.

To say " it never really existed in the first place " is a bit harsh, and some may consider it disrespectful of the group.
If a self named group does not exist, does this also include " The Frontenac Battalion " ?
Anyways, this is a fun hobby, people can make their own fictitious "battalion"; fictitious re-enactment regiments; and fictitious Historic Military Vehicle groups. Even if they are fictitious it does not mean they do not exist.

I consider the fictitious re-enactors that attend the Bivouac events to add significantly to the public display of military history. The various re-enactors may not be credentialed; approved; and legal entities; but they sure contribute to the event.
I also have my own fictitious "War & Peace Collection" consisting of a 1986 Canadian Bombardier Iltis; 1992 M101 CDN2 1/4 ton trailer; and a 1986 VW Vanagon Westfalia 2.1L 2wd "hippy bus". I did an event recently at the Diefenbunker in Ottawa, as part of the Ottawa Open Doors weekend.

This event over the years has attracted all sorts of fictitious folks who do not really exist. We still have fun...…
Cheers!
