Historic Fort Wayne Battalion Drill

Some images taken at this week's light infantry drill at the Historic Fort Wayne (on the south side of Detroit on the Detroit River). We slept in barracks built in the 1840s and where real soldiers stayed before heading south during the Civil War. The fort was first built to protect the US from an attack by Canada. And it seems to have worked; they've never dared to try!

Yet.
