Battle of Bladensburg, Riversdale House, Riverdale, MD, August 2009
Jack & Alistair

Jack and Alistair cast a critical eye on the Corporal's Musket.

Group

A general craic session with a member of the King's Own and Royal Marines. Anything to stay in the shade!

Bell and Kit

En Tigh bhan and our kit layout.

The Line moves forward

The 1st and 4th move up to clear Cousin Jonathan from the field.

Prime and Load

And of course it would be unsporting if we didn't fire a few rounds in their direction, just to help them on their way... so... Prime and Load. Good job Andrew isn't wearing his Cap; he'd make the rest of us look like wee Brownies...

Make Ready

Present

Fire

Fire!

Marching Off the Field

Leaving the field (after chasing Jonathan off) for the rest of the march to Washington City... and maybe dinner in the President's House?

Stand in Review

... and the final Redcoated line-up... 1st Royal Scots, 4th King's Own, and Royal Marines.
