            Stuck at home and getting bored? Then, take advantage of this opportunity to emerge from the Corona Crisis smarter and able to speak with authority to the public and reenactors alike! How? By reading some of the excellent articles on your very own regiment’s website. Learn about the original units we portray, see examples of original equipment, find out where “Brown Bess” came from and more.
