Test. Test. Test. Test. Test. Test. Also lots of skirm ear. Light infantry regiments and each light regiment would have an infantry company, too. Its less than 10 light infantry when it goes to the peninsula and waterloo. Im curious of the location of the barracks in Chester County and Montgomery County in philadelphia. Where was the location for the british army . Gee, i dont know, but during the seven years war when the british army went into Winter Quarters people objected to quartering regular troops in homes, et cetera, and different colonies were asked to build bear axe, the old barracks at trenton is part of the bear axe network, but i dont know where the barracks were located that youre asking about. Im sorry. One more question . Sure. Yes. A quick question about the queens rangers and the queen outfit and they formed for their seven years war originally, i believe. And Robert Rogers tries to get a commission for congress and they dont trust him and he goes to the british and offers his services and general how gives him permission for the queens american rangers. A lot of british officers and loyalist gentlemen dont like the quality of the officers at rogers commissions and rogers, too, by this time is past his prime. He had a drinking problem after he went back to england and he may have had it here in north america, but his officers are eased out and theyre replaced by loyalist gentlemen from new york and virginia, so the people that flock to lord dunnmoore and the queens rangers are reconstituted and they come up to the command of john grape who is a young man without much money so he wants to get ahead to distinguish himself in combat and finding a powerful patron in sir henry clinton, reminding clinton of everything he does right. There are lots of letters between the two of them and he makes a reputation for himself and he ends up having a mixed command of infantry, light infantry and he has a troop and he has a Highland Company and then he starts racing, and it becomes a legion and its one of the best forces in the british army because it was a hierarchal time. If you read on both sides of this war and people who perform well in battle they named only officers. Simko did not respect the american revolution. He wrote diatribes to himself, imaginary dialogues refuting all of the principles of american republicanism, but if you read his journal he will talk about sargence so and so and private so and so. He didnt care about class when it came to military merits and he promoted him from the ranks and made officers of them and if they act like gentlemen and acted bravely, he had his eye on them and it was an interesting figure because when he goes on canada, he will try to find ways to sabotage the american republic, but at the same time theres this this will make him roll over in his grave, but there was an egalitarian streak there. Did i answer your question . Yeah. He said its great because its he liked to set up ambush brigades as he called them and in summertime the guys blend in with the trees and by the time the fall and winter comes on that green is kind of brownish. Its grungy and its camouflage. So he did that deliberately. Yes . Sorry for going on a tangent. Thank you.
