The 2nd Battalion 44th East Essex Regiment of Foot
The 44th (East Essex) Regiment of Foot is a Living History and Re-Enactment Society that portrays the life of the regiment from the year 1800 to the battle of Waterloo in 1815 and their return to England in 1816. We re-create the lives of the soldiers, non-combatants and their camp followers during the Napoleonic Wars.
The 2nd Battalion, whose reputation for skill and courage throughout these European Wars was second to none - with particular mentions made of their service at the siege of Badajoz and the capture of the Eagle of the 62eme at Salamanca. The unit served with great distinction and suffered heavy casualties at Quatre Bras and Waterloo.
