Regular Troops

Regular troops are those men who enlisted in the Continental service under the command of Col. Seth Warner. These are the main fighting men of the Regiment.

The standard uniform for the Regiment's 1775-1777 portrayal is green faced red Regimental coats, brown or natural linen breeches and waistcoats, gray stockings, and black half-gaiters over leather shoes. There is variation of headgear, knapsacks, and cartridge boxes and pouches.
