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.

3:36 is like something straight out of Glory.

[@HM10thFoot]

Great movie and we totally see the connection-the woods battle with the fog! Thanks for watching, we’re looking forward to your next upload!

[@oshlampart2895]

3:36, that volley through the fog is eerie. 4:18 is terrifying

[@HM10thFoot]

We agree! The whole scenario was very memorable due to the fog and realism! Thanks for watching!

[@jacobkeppler1984]

Nice volley guys

[@HM10thFoot]

We appreciate it, thanks for watching!

[@BattleAxe1345]

Great to see some wooded fighting. I can only imagine the thoughts of a British regular in such a foreign land and climate.

[@HM10thFoot]

Must’ve been quite the shock compared to the settled areas of Europe! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching!

[@CaptRons18thcentury]

Good video... Love the recruiting video at the end... I need to get out and burn some powder...

[@HM10thFoot]

We agree but we’re biased. Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching!

[@mattkravchuk3234]

Very nice!

[@HM10thFoot]

Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching!

[@Fidoo1145]

Get a load of that, eh?

[@HM10thFoot]

Sure got a load of all that mist! Thanks for watching

[@MusketeerTed]

How did the redcoat reconnaissance not get spotted in 1770s when they where in red?

[@HM10thFoot]

Soldier's took advantage of the terrain around them.The North American continent at the time was very undeveloped and would have had very thick underbrush making it hard to spot anyone regardless of their coat. Great question and thanks for watching!

[@MusketeerTed]

Thank you!

[@Justin-kb8jj]

Also at that time seeing someone and hitting them were two different problems entirely

[@MusketeerTed]

@@Justin-kb8jj hahaha

[@marxbruder]

That "oh crap!" moment at the end when the rangers almost got overwhelmed will stick with me for a long time!

[@HM10thFoot]

It was a very memorable moment for us indeed! We commend you for the fine job you did commanding the Crown Forces over a tough weekend. Thanks for watching!

[@marxbruder]

I'm glad you had a good time, and it's fun to see another perspective on the battle.
