The Role of Battalion Companies in the 18th Century British Army | 10th TV

His Majesty's Tenth Regiment of Foot in America is a historically re-created infantry unit formed to portray the service of the British Army during the American War for Independence.

Composed of three types of soldier; Grenadiers, typically larger, more experienced men who were used as flanking or shock troops. A company of Light infantry, generally smaller, more agile men capable of maneuvering in the dense wilderness to skirmish or flank the enemy quickly on open ground. A Battalion, or hat Company, which is a company of regular soldiers capable of mass volleys that made up the centre core of the regiment. There is also a company of Music that provides entertainment during encampments, and beats commands to the army during the chaos of battle.

Finally, we have a Corps of Civilian Volunteers, who provide the food for the regiment during encampments.

Each section of the regiment is currently open for recruitment. The members of the Tenth are uniformed, equipped, and trained in 18th-century military drill and life so that we appear as the 10th Regiment would have in 1775.
