Our company displays the extended drill necessary to fire the muskets, as well as using them in mock battles and skirmishes with other regiments which reenact this era. In addition, our soldiers can demonstrate a style of military swordplay common to the period using weapons of a correct weight and balance. 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 and their families during the English Civil War. If circumstances permit, some of our members are prepared to present their interpretations in the first person, meaning that we speak from the point of view of a person from the time period and use pronunciation and syntax correct to Early Modern England.
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. Basic uniforms are inexpensive, and for first musters, we have some clothing and equipment avaliable for loan. We also have weapons available until one can be purchased. There are members of the regiment who will contract to provide clothing and there are sutlers at most major events. The background against which this portrayal is done is the war between the forces of King Charles I, also known as Cavaliers, and the forces of Parliament, commonly called Roundheads.
