The Battle of Fort George

Once again this year, the Incorporated Militia and their Campfollowers assisted with the living history weekend at Fort George for the Scouts. Saturday morning workshops and drill sessions included musketry and the manual of arms, wheeling and marching, firing while advancing and retiring and period life style (the role of the officer, the fort kitchen and the surgery). About 25 IMUC members assisted the 1300 scouts and leaders.
