About Us

My photo
British Marines Today
Our group is a small, elite band of re-enactors with emphasis on unit camaraderie. Unlike some units that often have a couple events a month, we select only a handful of, with an emphasis on battle, living history, and naval oriented events. With this in mind, our group has set out to depict the soldiers of a battalion company of British Marines as they would have appeared in Boston in 1775. With high standards of authenticity, the members of the group are equipped with all the clothing, accoutrements, and equipment that would have been necessary for the British Marine of the American Revolution to project a “solider-like appearance” while he was serving on land. Our unit belongs to the British Brigade, and the Naval and Marine Living History Association, both national re-enactment organizations.
