His Majesty's Tenth Regiment of Foot in America is a historically re-created infantry unit formed to portray the service of the British Army during the American War for Independence.
Composed of three types of soldier, Grenadiers-typically larger men who are used as shock troops, a company of Light infantry, generally smaller, more agile men--capable of maneuvering in the dense wilderness to skirmish or flank the enemy, and a battalion company--a company of regular soldiers, capable of mass volleys and were the heart of the army and are trained in both Grenadier and Light Infantry tactics. We also have a company of Music, who provide music and commands to the army. Last but certainly not least, a Corps of Civilian Volunteers--who provide food to the regiment during encampments and accurately portray civilian and camp life of the 18th century. Each is open for recruitment. The members of the Tenth are accurately uniformed, equipped, and trained in 18th-century military drill and life so that we appear in public as members of the British Army would have in 1775. Contact us to join.

That is an alarmingly STOUT load! 160g for the MAIN charge??? Holy crap!! Is that the period load?? If so that is ridiculously heavy for a cartridge! Those must have bucked HARD, also I can only imagine the unburnt powder thrown out the muzzle.

Cool vid

It would be interesting to see the load and fire sequence where a musket ball is included in the paper cartridge, to see if there is any difference with ramming the paper wrapped ball down the barrel.

We aren't aware of British units in the Netherlands from our time period, however I am sure you could find some from the Napoleonic era! Hope this helps!

I got a question how old is the 10th regiment of foot

[@HM10thFoot]

Great question! The original 10th Regiment was raised in 1685, the recreated 10th Regiment was formed in 1968!

Quick question how much would it cost to buy the uniform and musket they look expensive

[@HM10thFoot]

Great question! This is very unit-dependent. The 10th offers second hand accoutrements, firearms and if well-fitting, uniforms. Excluding the musket it is about 800 dollars, including, it is about 1500. Hope this helps!
