About Me

"The British Redcoat"
Boston, Massachusetts, United States
Beginning with Cromwell's "New Army" in the 1600's until the late 19th century, the British soldier was known around the world for his "Redcoat". The British Redcoat fought and often died on six continents, helping to establish the largest Empire the world has ever know. The sun set on the British Empire in the mid-twentieth century but even today we still live with its legacy. The British soldier now only wears the "Redcoat" for ceremonial purposes, but he is still serving his country in the world hot-spots just as his ancestors did and in many cases he can be found fighting right alongside his American cousins. The author of this blog was born in England, served in the U.S. military and for ten years was a member of a Boston based group of Revolutionary War reenactors recreating a British Regiment of Foot's Light Company. My purpose in creating this blog is to write about U.S. and British Military History, with an added emphasis on early New England history.
