The British Brigade,
Inc.
is chartered by the New York State Board of Regents
to honour the memories of those British and American soldiers
and their
families who served their country while fighting and dying for
their beliefs
and loyalties during the American War of Independence.
We endeavour
to portray various aspects of the lives of these men and women
by bringing together hundreds of soldiers and campfollowers to
educate the
public at weekend encampments. A field force of The King's Army
in British
North America can be seen camped in the manner of the British
Army of the
period. Here one can see tent lined streets filled with red,
blue and green
coated men performing their daily duties as well as practicing
drills and
manoeuvres.
At least twice
a weekend the Army forms for battle against the Rebel forces
where one can see, amid the clouds of powder smoke and crash
of musketry,
battalions of men manoeuvreing into action against their foes.
Here infantry,
artillery and cavalry recreate the detailed evolutions of the
18th century's most
famous army.
