Today in 1746, a blinding storm rendered the British musketry useless, leaving the field open for one last, Highland charge. Britain was about to find out the Jacobites had fight left in them. The Jacobite Rising: The Highland Storm Listen Now! #PrimeAndLoad #ScottishHistory

What was the other battle Napoleonic soldiers fought? Check out or latest documentary about the trials and tribulations of campaign life🎥
Our AGM & Regimental Dinner at the Officers’ Club, Colchester. Excellent food, drink and company. A time to celebrate our members, promotions and awards. Pte Valentine to LCpl, Cpl Telfer to Sjt and Pte Chapman won Reenactor of the Year. God Save the King & the Fighting Fours!
A highlight from our 2026 so far. Marching through central London as part of the New Year’s Day Parade, past Adm. Lord Nelson, The Cenotaph, Horse Guards Parade and of course Buckingham Palace. If you want to get involved: [email protected]

8th January 1815… The Battle of New Orleans. ‘New Orleans was the most pointless battle of the entire Napoleonic era.’ Discuss below👇
8th Jan 1815, At New Orleans, the British attacked strong US defences along the Mississippi unaware peace had been signed. Poor coordination and missing assault gear doomed the attack. Over 2,000 British casualties whilst US losses were very light.
This time next week you shall find us in the formal garden at the incredibly special @1815Memorial Hougoumont Farm. We will be preparing for what is going to be a very special 210th anniversary reconstruction. Stay tuned for more!
For more information on our events and how to get involved go to our website 44theastessex.com/events
This time last week we took part in the @NapoleonicAssoc event @ChilternOAM. It was an outstanding event and proved that there’s never a better time to “take the shilling” and join one of “Wellington’s finest” living history groups.

I haven’t posted properly for ages as I’ve been sick and really busy! So prepare yourselves for a photo dump of a catch up of things that I’ve been working on for the last 6 weeks or so. First up, some excellent training was had with the 33rd, @44thFoot and 68th Foot up north!
44th Foot retweeted
Next up, some more training with @44thFoot this time taking place at home in Essex. It’s great to see the unit not only making huge improvements in its material culture and drill but also really starting to gel and build some cohesion. Some exciting times ahead for our drill!
@MattTay74784525 Thanks Matt, that’s much appreciated.
This Sunday, 23rd March, the 44th (East Essex) Regiment of Foot will be returning to @TilburyFort for our first training event of the year. The Fort is open to the public, so please pop by. Check out the link in the profile for more information. #BritishArmy #history #military

A storm is coming… Along with some VERY big news…

100,000 views on the @NapWarsPod video of @liamtelfer attempting to fire four rounds of musketry in a minute 🤯 Be sure to subscribe to the Napoleonic Wars Youtube channel to see this, and much much more in the coming months. Link below

Had a fantastic day at @ApsleyHouse with the men of the @44thFoot recounting for #BlackHistoryMonth the brave escapees from American slavery who fought in the #Warof1812 #HistoryMatters
44th Foot retweeted
In #London tomorrow? Why not visit @ApsleyHouse - Wellington's house! - for a big dose of Napoleonic history plus a bonus me talking about my @penswordbooks "Black Redcoats" & the importance of former slaves to the British military. Along will be re-enactors of the @44thFoot!
44th Foot retweeted
Four rounds a minute. Myth or Reality? In the latest instalment from the Napoleonic Wars Pod, we see if it is actually possible to fire four rounds a minute. Re-enactor @liamtelfer dons his 44th East Essex uniform in an attempt that encountered many challenges. Link below
Last weekend saw the end to our 2024 season with the event @LandguardF joining the 1/95th Foot for the event. Now that the 2024 season is over, our members can enjoy a rest before training starts again in the new year.
