Portraying one of the most distinguished Light Artillery Batteries of the Civil War, we are the principal artillery unit in the Southern Skirmish Association.
Our members come from all over Southerm England. Because we have a high proportion of members with families, we generally camp in the "modern" camping area, although we do try and maintain a presence in the "authentic" or living history camp as well.
We usually field an average of 3 cannon, which are replicas with a 2" bore firing a 5oz charge. Our drill is mostly taken from the 1864 Field Artillery Tactics Manual.
