Return to home
 
Old Sydney Town 2002 saw a smaller than usual troop from the 95th, and lots of rain during the nights. Nevertheless, displays for the visiting public, workshops, and infantry combat training with the redcoat regiments was enjoyed by all. In addition, couples from several of the regiments invested time in improving our Regency period dancing. Regiments present included the 95th, 73rd, 42nd, Royal Marines and the 21eme (French).

Doing our military thing

Right marker! Order arms!		SGT Andrew conducting a safety check - joined by a soldat of the 21eme (ramrods confirm the barrel is clear, then inspecting flintlocks)
We did parade demonstrations for the public, weather permitting		Ah! Trotter packs. No-one (re-enactors or diarists from the Napoleonic wars) has a good word to say about them.
But on with the show - skirmish practice after the parade		SGT Andrew and Rifleman John looking their usual professional selves
Gavin of the 21eme		73rd volleys - riflemen in the background
73rd advancing between volleys (sunshine at last!!)		Some of the crew

After hours

Colin and Avery - some of our OST hosts		Some of the ladies at a formal dinner
