About Us

 

We are a UK-based Living History Group portraying the 2nd Battalion 43rd Light Infantry Regiment 'The Monmouthshire Light Infantry' 1803-1815. Primarily based from the South West of the UK,  we portray the life of the regiment both military and civilian during the 12 years of the Napoleonic Wars, and Participate in events throughout the UK and abroad.


Founded in 2015 by a group of passionate history enthusiasts, with backgrounds ranging from the middle ages to the Napoleonic Wars (Both British and French),
Our group strives to open up the world of living history to everyone. 

 

We aim to portray all aspects of life in the Regiment, not just the rank and file. We welcome camp followers, musicians, traders, surgeons… any one who would like to take part in living history!

 

At our events you can experience dramatic gun firing exhibitions, military marching and drill displays, either as a single regiment or part of a much larger battalion. We camp under canvas, cook over an open fire and march to the beat of our very own bugle and drum. We are frequently invited to living history events and large scale battle re-enactments both in the UK and abroad.


So take the kings shilling and join the 2nd Battalion 43rd (Monmouthsire) Light Infantry Regiment Today. 

 

We also re-enact the American revolutionary war as the 3rd New York Regiment, an American regiment who fought against the British.  Not only do we portray soldiers but also natives American guides.

For all enquiries for either regiment, please use the email or contact sheet in the "Contact" area.
