Off to the Skirmish

Following our look at the Brigade of Guards on patrol and in formation for firing, all personnel reported to the large parade field at the center of Cantigny Park's main grounds. It was interesting to see Revolutionary War Redcoats parading between 21st-century automobiles in the parking lot.

Among the loyalist brigades was a French group, including the standard-bearer seen here. Time for battle approached; see some of the action in the next post.
