So much has been written online about the 250th Anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill, your captain has decided not to re-invent the wheel, so to speak, but will share some links below containing coverage and pictures.
How to describe the reenactment of Bunker Hill in one word? "Intense."
Without a doubt, the Bunker Hill 250th, held at Stage Fort Park in Gloucester, MA, was one of the most impressive, greatest reenactment events the 35th has ever participated in. A huge turnout of reenactors, good weather, good planning by dedicated people, a massive audience, ships just off the shore, and good friends to be with, all combined for an epic start for the 250th anniversaries. The Lexington and Concord events, plus Bunker Hill, round out the major 1775 anniversaries for the region. Of course, the Continental army would march on Canada and attempt to wrest away a 14th colony from the Crown, but that would not be successful. The 35th's first taste of battle in the American Revolution was at Bunker Hill. The flank companies, specifically, fought the colonists in the bloodiest battle of the war. We attempted to show a degree of what that might've looked like at this event where our redcoats stormed the defenses on top of Breed's Hill three times with heavy casualties.
The 35th was proud to be part of this spectacular opportunity to showcase this major historical event and recognize the regiment's actual participation, albeit not on the same ground (Charlestown today is too built up to host a major reenactment).
We also want to thank our friends in the 23rd Royal Welch Fusiliers who we fell out with in a combined grenadier company, with the other grenadier company composed of the Guards, 10th, 49th, and 64th Regiments.
We were so invested in the event itself, we actually didn't get many photos of our own!
