[@gray3553]

Coming from the land of redcoats, your history is our history. Well explained enjoyed this video.

[@rollingpasturesfarm7712]

nice to see younger reenactors portraying military

[@HM10thFoot]

We couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching!

[@JerseyAir]

Agreed

[@Jimothy-723]

@@HM10thFootyou told us about everyone's uniform except for yours.

[@astridisaacs8129]

Yea especially since this war a war fought by people who were very young. I think its a more accurate depiction than showing more mature, and stronger men.

[@davidchampkin5999]

Brilliant. The enthusiasm and attention to detail is amazing. I was a extra in the film Revolution in the 80s wearing the british red coat uniform .

[@HM10thFoot]

Hi David, we are glad you enjoyed! Thank you for watching! What movie were you an extra in?

[@taradonohoe658]

@@HM10thFoot I’d say it’s the 1985 al Pacino movie called revolution

[@vespelian]

Great to see history brought to life with such authentic detail. I used to do (English) civil war reenactment as a pikeman/musketeer, though I was also a redcoat in Dumbarton's Regiment of Foot (the Royal Scots) at the 300th anniversary of the Battle of Sedgemoor in 1985.

I was a private in a very interesting unit, Company C of His Majesty's 84th. Royal Highland Immigrants. Basically they had traditional Scottish uniform items (Kilts, Plaids, headgear, Sporrans, ...) in British Redcoats (mine is much cherished ), Brown Bess muskets, bayonets, etc. The original 84th were Jacobites and after Charles Stewart lost to the Hangovers they fled to Canada, thinking they would not be found. But surprise! When the Colonies got cranky, George III' s men found them, informed them that they were traitors, and they had a choice between helping the king with his little spat to the south/southeast or end up having hemp necktie parties for all of them

Great little video, thank you for sharing. If I may inquire about the footwear. Long marches, and the rugged nature of terrain can cause havoc amongst the best of footwear. As a soldier, I was thinking about your feet, thinking about how things like the cold, sweating, underbrush, mud, etc.. I was wondering how that footwear had(or would have) faired in campaign.

[@dakkahead517]

Also, Merry Christmas!

[@HM10thFoot]

Hi Dakka, merry Christmas and thank you for watching. You are correct, in that shoes could only withstand so much. However, do to the nature of a soldiers work, they got new shoes periodically. Despite this, armies at the time were small cities. Regiments were full of skilled tradespeople including cobblers. If shoes needed repairs prior to a soldier getting issued a new pair, one would go see his company or Regimental cobbler.

Strange to see Americans dressing as my grandfthers regiment(1st Battalion Lincolnshires from 1896 to 1903)

[@HM10thFoot]

Hi John, thank you for watching! Our regiment does have connections with the original Lincolnshire Regiment with our founder, Vincent Jr. Kehoe forming close bonds with them during the research for our uniforms. We have taken multiple trips to the UK: first in 1976, then in 1978 when Kehoe turned over our silk colors to the original regiment in front of the Sobraon barracks in Lincoln. The regiment was briefly disbanded, but was reformed soon after, and during our next trip to the UK in 1993, the colours were given back to the recreated regiment at a ceremony in front of Lincoln Castle, followed by a ceremony in the United States at Hanscom Airforce Base. You can find more about our regimental history at redcoat.org

Hey ik I might be a bit late but where perhaps could you buy these uniforms or atleast replicas of them?

[@KB-5.Feldartillerie-Regiment]

Beautiful

[@karrde5566]

the "basic" uniform (the second man from the left) ive always thought looked the best out of all ranks and specialties and in specifically the 17th century (i also found that i quite like the 33rd regiment the most) ive never liked the tall hats its to bad that the cocked hat went out of fashion i honestly wear them in public i love my tricorns

[@brokentoe1510]

Great job, your ending is a nice recruiting add. GOD save the KING.

[@HM10thFoot]

God Save the King! Glad you enjoyed! We appreciate the compliment as well!

Hi Kyle

[@historylover1776]

Why does almost everyone in this comment section sound like they’re straight out of 1781💀💀

[@HM10thFoot]

Maybe it is 1781...#TwilightZone 🤔🤔

[@da90sReAlvloc]

Nar you're not. You're a yank so cannit be in the kings army, Nar lad. I'm only joking man, Good video very informative 👍

[@JacobM.S]

Why some sergeants have red cloth around theyr waist with yellow cloth

[@HM10thFoot]

This was to distinguish their rank as a Serjeant! See our video on distinguishing rank in the British Army!

[@jamesclarke2390]

It's called a sash it's worn on ceremonial duties .

[@ryanmichael1298]

Regimental Pioneers?

[@swampthing31]

Fighting a war would be bad enough let alone in the gear they had back then

looking smart was more important than winning. I would love to have been a soldier back then

too bad you guys wearing wrong color supposed to be blue and white continentals. Ah its like the bloods n crips i guess. But we could wait for the british to send reenactors over to play their side. I like the bearskin hat, but can't play a lobsterback i need american uniform first.
