The 2nd Battalion 44th
East Essex
Regiment of Foot
The 44th (East
Essex) Regiment of Foot is a Living History and Re-Enactment Society
that portrays the life of the regiment from the year 1800 to the
battle of Waterloo in 1815.
We re-create the
lives of the soldiers, non-combatants and their camp followers
during the Napoleonic Wars, in particular the Peninsular Campaign.
We are the 2nd Battalion, whose reputation for skill and
courage throughout these European Wars was second to none - with
particular mentions made of their service at the siege of
Badajoz and the
capture of the Eagle of the 62eme at
Salamanca.
The unit served with great distinction and suffered heavy casualties
at Quatre Bras and Waterloo.
When you read through this site you will begin to
appreciate, how the regiment has established a reputation as being
one of the most committed, friendly and sought after groups in UK
Re-Enactment. If you just want to find out a little bit more about
us , that's great, if you are considering "Taking the king's
shilling" - you could not do better
than join us, just go to the "Join/Hire Us"
section.
If you do not want to become a full time re-enacting member of the
unit, you can become a "Friend of the 44th" a way of you
keeping in touch with what we are doing and where you can
