Worcester Re-enactors

This regiment was originally raised in 1689 by Zacharia Tiffin as a Regiment of Foot to defend the Irish town of Inniskilling, the only town in the British Isles to raise and name two regiments for its own defence.

The Inniskillings won undying fame at Waterloo in 1815 when they saved Wellingtons right without giving an inch of ground. The regiment was cut to ribbons and took the full brunt of a French Cavalry charge. Of the 15 Officers present 14 were killed and 498 of the 670 other ranks were either killed or wounded. An adjoining regiment offered to lend the 27th some officers to which Major Hare refused, saying "the sergeants liked to command the companies, and I would be loathe to deprive them of such honour".

The 27th regt of foot is a family orientated unit with a wide variety of role to suit any one interested, from being a drummer/piper to seamstress or a soldier.
