Anyone interested in becoming a redcoat soldier is welcome to join. New recruits start with the rank of private and advance to other re-enactment roles with the approval of the regiment.
The qualifications are simple. The candidate needs only two teeth (for biting the tops off musket cartridges), two fingers that meet (to grasp the cartridges), and must be free of sores, body ulcers and other scrofulous imperfections. A sense of humour, a love of history, and an interest in making it come to life again through education and re-enactment are also required.
Women and children are also invited to re-enact the roles played by family members in military life in Upper Canada.
