We participate in living history displays, musters, skirmishes, and all manner of activities connected with the period. Our regiment is composed of musketeers, armed with firelock or matchlock muskets of the second half of the seventeenth century. We display the extended drill necessary to fire the muskets and in addition, our troops can demonstrate the swordplay common to the period. All of these activities are done with a high degree of authenticity, meticulously researched, with all clothing and equipment carefully constructed to original patterns and specifications. It is the unit's function to show an accurate portrayal of what life was like for the soldiers of the Restoration and their families.
Members provide their own uniforms and equipment made to regimental patterns and specifications.
We have a wealth of information on correct items and clothing and can assist anyone in acquiring their kit. There are members of the regiment that will contract to provide clothing, as well as sutlers at most major events that will sell all manner of items. Duke of York and Albany's Regiment, Captain Middleton's Company, is based in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area. Our musters are held in locations from Virginia to Massachusetts so it is necessary for you to provide your own transportation. We welcome all who would return to a more colourful and exciting time.
