In 2004 a number of members decided that they would like to mark the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar. So we set up a small crew of Royal Navy landing party
in preparation of the Bicentennial of the War of 1812 we also decided to create a unit depicting the US Marines of 1812
This allows us to recreate various aspects of the War of 1812 portraying either the 41st Foot Redcoats, Royal Navy crew of HMS Terror or US Marines.
Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 11:05PM Not all members of the 41st are interested in portraying members of the jolly tars, but they are still able to participate in our Royal Navy events as during the War of 1812 the 41st served as marines on several ships, and were awarded prize money from the vessels captured.
Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 10:59PM In 2004 we decided that we would like to portray another aspect of the period, and with the 200th anniversary of Trafalgar around the corner, the Royal Navy was our first choice.
We put together some uniforms and attended the Napoleonic Fair in St Albans that year. Here we were invited to participate in the official celebrations at Portsmouth.
