field for extended periods of times guarding assigned posts; Participating in

shorelines. Each day featured a large battle with all forces
participating, which included over 300 or more infantrymen in the field, ten
artillery pieces, and about 30 horse. As more than one participant noted,

John DiCarlo, just to name a few. A very big thank you to all those
photographers for your wonderful work.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> <span style="font-size: large;">The Marines were in Annapolis at The Hogshead Tavern - recruiting for new members! We will be making an appearance in Annapolis again, so keep a lookout on our schedule, and come visit the tavern at 43 Pinkney Street! The street itself is wonderful to walk down as it is narrow and still driven on.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Historic Annapolis manages the gambrel-roofed frame house with the two dormer windows. The building is now interpreted
as a tavern or to show off 18th century trades that may have been in the city. An
unusual feature of the house is its basement kitchen which is not often open to the public.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> More information on the house and its weekend interpretation can be see on the <a href="http://www.annapolis.org/contact/hogshead">Historic Annapolis</a> web page.</span></span><br />

What better place than Annapolis!? As many like to participate as a continental officer or soldier - get an idea of the other side of the war by joining the Marines for fun and adventure!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> <span style="font-size: large;">At some events, we can be seen on boats coming in to land before battling the Continental Army. We often also augment other units on the battlefield, or participate in early skirmishes. Camaraderie in camp is amazing with much laughter, always teaching each other the ins and outs of reenacting, and the latest research found on the actual unit and the war.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> The British
Marines made our fifth, and likely last annual appearance at <a href="https://www.nps.gov/gewa/index.htm">George Washington Birthplace NationalMonument</a>. We had a great time talking with a couple hundred
visitors who came out on beautiful Virginia fall day. Our unit talked to
the visitors about the causes of the war, wartime Virginia, and what life was
like for the British Army and in particular, His Majesty's Marines. The
Marines conducted several firing demonstrations (pictured here), along with our
friends from the 5th Cumberland (PA) County Militia. The public seemed
especially interested in the rifle vs musket demonstrations - and, as we
all know, the bayonet always wins! <br /><br /> In addition to our Marines, the ladies helped bring the park to life with
living history demonstrations in the main house, and the unit's favorite cooking
demonstration. The house and kitchen building both saw a steady stream of
visitors come through asking questions about the early life of George
Washington. They also were curious as to the people who lived at the Pope Creek Plantation, and what the
ladies were cooking. At the end of the day, the Marines and ladies were
treated to the wonderful results of the hearth kitchen cooking demonstrations,
ably led by Kimberly Walters and Krista Jasillo. You can read all about
what they made <a href="http://www.kwaltersatthesignofthegrayhorse.com/2018/11/george-washingtons-birthplace-national.html">here</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> On 16-17 September, His Majesty’s Marines participated in the
Battle of Brandywine. This event was one of the highlights of the year
for the Marines. This reenactment marked the 240th anniversary of the
battle of Brandywine, the largest land battle of the American Revolution.
Making the event even more significant was the fact that it took
place at Sandy Hollow Park, in Birmingham Township, PA. Sandy Hollow was
part of the actual battlefield where combat occurred on September 11,
1777. In fact, there is a memorial in the park to commemorate where
General Marquis de Lafayette was wounded. It was an honor to camp on the
site and march in the footsteps of the brave soldiers who fought there 240
years ago. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> The township sponsors estimated the event brought
in eight to ten thousand spectators to watch the action. Saturday’s
battle followed started with the historic scenario of the American Army
retreating from Birmingham Hill. The Marines, as part of the <a href="http://www.britishbrigade.org/">BritishBrigade</a>, marched through a nearby horse farm, into and out of the adjoining
woods, and spilled out into the open fields of Sandy Hollow. The field was
filled with reforming American forces attempting to cover their retreat as best
they could. Both sides exchanged fire and fought bravely through the
heat, but the Americans were forced to withdraw in the face of a mass British
bayonet charge. Yes, we fixed bayonets! His Majesty’s Marines
fought exceptionally well as they personally captured a rebel cannon and
flag. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

American reenactors, giving us the chance to practice drilling, maneuvering, and
parading with a large group of British troops. We even had civilians join us, a follower of the Army and two ladies! </span></div>

The talks included musket firing demonstrations (always a crowd favorite, and the men love cleaning their weapons after), little known facts about George Washington and various rebel leaders, and how the soldiers lived and fought during the war.</span></span></div>

We were able to provide demonstrations to the public, participated in the parade, had a street shoot out, a great time paired with the Maryland Loyalists, and awesome camaraderie with all. The 1st Virginia Regiment and 1st Delaware were also there as opposing forces. Lots to do at this event, so look for us to be there again next year!</span><br />
