 Re-enacting Artillery Crew
The Marquess of Winchester's regiment is fortunate to have access to 2 artillery pieces, a Drake Minion owned by the Kings Army and a smaller Minion owned by the regiment.
Members of the artillery are a special breed, it may look easy firing a loading a cannon but there is more to the role than just going bang. We are always on the lookout for new members to man these guns, the artillery play a role in every event we attend, be it a static show and tell or part of the Kings Army battery at our major displays.
Training is essential when crewing one of these guns and it is given to any new member by the regiments master gunner, learning the loading procedure, safe firing distances and safe handling of the gun powder used in these guns.
Not for the light hearted but a very enjoyable aspect of the hobby..
