Hello! How are you? My name is Ebbe and I am 15 from Long Island. I am interested in joining the 23rd Reg. of foot, what is required to join, are there any fees and what is the minimum age to join?

I am a Welshman, from Merthyr Tydfil, living in Virginia. I am able to speak a little Cymraeg (Welsh), but am not fluent. I would be interested in becoming a RWF trooper. I was a cadet sergeant in the Air Training Corps of the Royal Air Force.
One question I have. Did the RWF not surrender their colours (colors) at Yorktown? We lived in the Tidewater area and visited Yorktown. Occasionally, I would drive on the Coleman Bridge over the York River, which, according to historical texts, the RWF were defending the redoubts at where the Coleman Bridge is now.
Hello, you may remember me, I applied last year to the Fusiliers. I do have a question that has been nagging at me. How on earth does one get promoted? Is there a protocol or does your captain just say ‘your a leftenent’. Hope you can get back to me

Can I be a Fusilier despite the fact that I belong to other units? Are there any 23rd Fusiliers in the Midwest? Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, or Chicago?
Interested in joining His Majesty’s forces as a Fusilier. Living in Anaheim, California.
Respectfully,
Paul
As a member of the RWF Regiment in Wales, now living in Montreal…are you having any events in 2020 or is everything cancelled due to the Covid -19 virus. I don’t think I can currently cross the border anyway unless it is of an urgent matter, and I don’t think the USCustoms and Border Services will take it seriously if I say “I’m trying to stem a revolution in the southern colonies” !
Paul,
Our events have been cancelled or postponed, with dates TBD. Although there are still some on the schedule for September and after. However, not sure that these will be allowed to take place. We are all playing it by ear. If you like I can send you an email of any events that may happen.
Ich Dien!

Hi Craig, Roy Najecki has them. Just follow this link to his button page and click on 23… http://www.najecki.com/repro/buttons/Brit.html

Also, if so, where can I get them

Good day!
I am interested in taking the shilling, as it were, with your unit. I am, however, in the Ohio country at the moment. So, as such, am unsure if your esteemed members branch out this far into the King’s Country.
Any correspondence will be greatly appreciated.
God Save the King!
