People:
- The King’s Royal Yorkers 1775-1783, a living history organization dedicated to the portrayal of Canada’s first Loyalist regiment. These guys are almost as weird as us! Hey, some of them are us!
- What’s a war without a website? Military Heritage.com maintains a group of websites dedicated to things military and historical.
- Our favourite is, of course, their War of 1812 Website site,
- they also host The Seven Years War Website,
- The Napoleonic Wars Collection,
- The Military Heritage Magazine
- and even a Military Sound Clips Gallery which is worth checking out, although it’s not as good as us, of course.
- An annual event at Historic Fort York ( Ken’s day job) is Queen Charlotte’s Birthday Ball, also worth a look.
