    Très impressionné par le tambour et le fifre, capables tous deux de jouer aussi bien malgré le froid. Bravo à tous les deux!

    Lovely. That area in general/ accoceek across the river is a tranquil place to meander, its beauty only exemplified by the history here. My husband is distantly related to a signer of the declaration of independence.

    Question:
    Why did they have a spear?
    I thought bayonets replaced spears

      Held by the officer for identification and they didn't want officers distracted with firing a musket.

    And the bugles, why such a modern sound? period, I don't think so.

      If you are on RUclips, then you are on the internet. That means you can look it up. So I did. Bugles are period correct.

      The military always used bugles... but not with keys. My huisband's REV WAR Re-enactment unit, a Dragoon one, had a bugler per regs.

    Ok, you can keep the fleets of tanks that we can't use, and the airplanes that can't fly in the rain...
    Can we at least cut the performing arts parts of the military?

      you weren't really fighting the brits, you were fighting hessian mercaneries, while the brits were dealing with a Jacobite rebellion at home. The Revolution wasn't winning in the north from Maine to New York, and the south from Georgia to North Carolina.
