His Majesty’s Tenth Regiment of Foot

April 25, 2025
The Tenth Regiment of Foot in America, Inc.
No Comments

The reenactment group, His Majesty’s Tenth Regiment of Foot, American Contingent (the Tenth Regiment), was founded on July 15, 1968, by Chelmsford native Vincent J-R Kehoe. Having seen the earlier reenactments at the Old North Bridge in Concord, where men portrayed British Regulars by dressing up in red bath robes and papier mâché caps, Kehoe had a vision to accurately portray and honor the British soldiers who fought at the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. Kehoe selected the Tenth Regiment out of the numerous British regiments in Boston in 1775 as an homage to his own service in the United States Army 10th Mountain Division in WWII.

Historical Costumer Henry Cooke Recreates the Past

Excerpted from Journal of the American Revolution
March 15, 2020

If he had lived in the eighteenth century, Henry Cooke would have been called a Master Tailor. Today we call him a historical costumer, but his tailoring is no less masterful. In an era when all clothing was hand- made, proper fit was important. Achieving the right fit and the right look means understanding the way clothing was constructed. Cooke has made a livelihood out of studying original garments, finding the best materials, and mastering the techniques of measurement, cutting and construction that make reproduction clothing look like the real thing; if you’ve been to a museum, a site with historical interpretation, or a reenactment, you may have seen his work or at least seen his influence. We spoke with him about his remarkable profession.

    Ken Burns’ American Revolution: A View Through the Lens of History
