The Troop is a multi-period cavalry re-enactment group specialising in the portrayal of British cavalry from the English Civil War through to the Great War. In that time The Troop has appeared at numerous events in Great Britain, Spain, the Crimea and South Africa.
In the last couple of years Alan and his comrades have concentrated on Great War centennial activities ,the lead up to Waterloo 200 and, of most interest to our blog members, events commemorating the Restoration period, Monmouth's Rebellion and the Williamite Wars.

Plans are afoot for 2015. The Killiecrankie commemorations are confirmed for the weekend of the 25th and 26th of July.
The chaps have also been invited to be a part of the Sealed Knot's 330th Anniversary event at Sedgemoor on the 4th and 5th of July in their 1685 Royal Dragoons guise.
