Description
The 1st New Hampshire Regiment is a recreation of one of the three regiments of "regulars" from New Hampshire to serve in the Continental Army under Gen. Washington during the American Revolution. We do this as a hobby for our own enjoyment, and to educate people about the unit and that time period of our history. The current regiment is composed of a company of Line, or battalion troops, a Fife and Drum Music Company, attached riflemen, camp followers and most recently has reactivated it's Artillery Company, servicing a reproduction 3 lb. field cannon.
The 1st NH participates in parades, honor guards, battle reenactments and other activities. We have appeared at events all over the east coast from Georgia to Maine, in Canada and even in England, We are also charter members of The Continental Line, Inc, an organization of more than 60 reenactment units.
The main uniform worn by the unit is a recreation of the ones issued to the unit in 1778 at Valley Forge. The basic uniform consists of a green coat with red facings, cuffs and collar and brass buttons. The Musicians wear white coats with blue facings or rifle frocks. These frocks are also worn by the riflemen attached to the unit. In the warmer months, the unit often wears lighter farmers smocks or rifle shirts in place of the heavy woolen coats. These too are quite correct for the time period portrayed, as they were issued to the troops on a semi-regular basis.
