This soidat warmed up for our coming campaign season by going through the 12 manouvres of loading according to the 1791 drill regulations to warm up for the coming season, using a recently published translation by Ken Trotman publishing. Room for improvement: 1) The musket, when leved, should have the lock 5cm below the right nipple and the end of the barrel in line with the eyes; 2) Prenez la cartouche - The soldier slips his hand between the musket and his thigh. Here the soldier goes around the back of the musket butt (a very common error in reenacting); 3) At the ready (ARMES!), the left thumb should be level with the chin; 4) At the present (JOUE!), the right elbow should be down against the body as much as possible

Edited footage of Saturday's Battle at Hole Park 2019, an event organised by the Napoleonic Association of Great Britain.

After a long year and a half with no events because of lockdowns and the pandemic, 2021 saw Napoleonic Reenactment return over the Summer! He's a compilation of some of this summer's events, expect more videos of this quality in 2022! This compilation also features members of our fellow regiments in the UK French Brigade, including the 45e and 85e Ligne and 2eme Legere, as well as shots of our adversaries on the British side!

Check out this great video giving a snippet of our last event of the season at Hole Park last weekend! Beautifully shot by Hushpuppy Productions. Find us at 21emeLigne.com!

This past weekend we had our first training event of the season at Algrave Hall. We focused chiefly on the Ecole de Soldat but also had the opportunity for some firing. In this video you can see us practicing Feu de Deux Rangs in three ranks. In this manoeuvre in the Ecole de Peleton, the first rank fires and loads. The second rank fires, passes their gun to the third rank, then fires again and loads. The third rank loads muskets. This method of firing was designed to unleash as much firepower as quickly as possible into the enemy. In gratitude to Martin Lancaster for his instruction over the weekend. And with thanks to Hushpuppy Productions as ever for their phenomenal cinematography.
