NOTICE As we went to press it was announced that there will not be a reenactment of Waterloo in 2001. It is not known at this time if one will take place in 2005. --from Napoleon #17, p.13 The Battle of Waterloo will be re-enacted in June of 2001 and members of the 21e Regiment d'Infanterie de Ligne will represent the largest single line-unit at the event. Fusiliers of the 1er Compagnie from the UK, the 2e Compagnie from the Continent, and the 3e Compagnie from North America will combine to form a single battalion. If you would like to begin your Napoleonic re-enacting hobby with a bang, we urge you not to hesitate. Now is the time to join the 21e and begin preparing yourself and your kit. We do have loaner gear, but the quantity is limited. We will also visit Paris and the Musee d'Armee, Invalides and the tomb of Napoleon. If you wish to participate with the 3e Compagnie at this great event you need to contact sergent Mike Mathews at the address below. The 3e Compagnie will be participating in several North American events between now and next June and you must attend at least one of them and pass the safety and drill inspections. You need no prior reenacting experience. We will train you. Brigade Napoleon is a Napoleonic re-enactment organization in North America. Brigade Napoleon is open to any and all Troops of all nations, or to individuals of those units. We are an association of like minded friends, NOT a political body.
