The Earl of
Manchester's Regiment of Foote, a Parliamentarian regiment of the Sealed
Knot Society, was formed in 1981, and it was on the May Bank Holiday of this
year that we first took to the field. Manchester's soon became recognised
as a strong fighting force and it was during the 1990's that some of our greatest
battle honours were achieved. In 1994 the regiment received, from the Lord
General, two commendations for outstanding action. Once we had grow in size
and confidence we were able, against the odds, to stage a mini muster at Oakwell
hall in Yorkshire.
As
we moved into the New Millennium we began a concerted effort to do more drill
and meet more regularly to keep the momentum that we had been successfully building
over the years. This has paid off as we have become stronger both on and off
the field.
The
regiment has steadily grown in numbers, both combatants and noncombatants. We
are chiefly a family orientated regiment and children are encouraged to join
in as much as possible. All though we undertake serious commitment to the Regiment
we never lose sight of the fact that this is a hobby and that it should be as
much fun as possible for everyone involved.
We
are actively seeking members and would like to hear from anyone who is interested
in pursuing a unique and exhilarating pastime.
