Fort Anne Encampment 2022

 After a 2 year enforced hiatus, we went back. This year my 4 days off were exactly the days for the event. I went down on Thursday and returned Sunday.

Most of these shots are mine, the first two I belive are from one of our newest members.

The camp in the fort

Renville or otherwise known as the tartan alarm clock

Deer chop curry anyone?

Bill our new member seems to think it's good

My tent with my coat over 

Making Friday night supper

Ready to begin a very busy Saturday.

Pumped to play

That moment you get asked to drum in a couple because they asked the piper to handle the ring, 

Marching to battle 

Beating to assembly to repel attack 

Firing at the rebels

I'm the only casually and I didn't flash or moon the audience 

Marching back 

King's forces March on

Battle of Brandywine, 1777

My take on the Philidelphia campaign of 1777.

the centre of the American line being assaulted by the Crown forces

Americans push against the Hessians on the crown right.

Various American skirmishers supported by some Light Dragoons

The British composite Grenadier and Light Infantry battalions about to hit the American right.

and the British Left wing begins to hit the rebels

Crown lights and dragoons push through the woods

The American's eventually crumbled under the intense pressure on all their flanks.
The deluded subjects were forced to flee.
God Save the King!

Fort Anne encampment, 2018

I had such a good time with my family that I forgot to add pictures! My new sailor kit came in handy as an American privateer
My wife got pictures so I shall have to wait for her to sort them out

Drummer Ian in his small clothes and mistress Leena in her young ladies clothing.

I havent yet been able to upload further pictures

a shot of Private DeLorey back in 1986 with my little sister.

Leena in the courtyard of Port Royal habitation, 

the children of the regiment playing outside the fort's prison

sliding down the ramparts, hence why I bought Ian a pair of brown breeches

all of the King's men

in the officer's lines

once again scrambling up the ramparts

East Hants the story of us

My father, Captain Robert Redden,and I and our friend, Peter Ashley were part of an event to celebrate the launch of a movie made on the history of East Hants,
We pipes and drummed in our uniforms of the 2nd Battalion, 84th Royal Highland Emigrants.
Once I get some pictures I shall post them.
