| The Light Infantry drill was a chance for re-enactors from 8 different units across the State and from Canada to come together and work on the basic skills of the infantry. Held in November, it also served socially as a way to say farwell to comrades-in-arms as winter closed in on Michigan. It was a very fun weekend. Officers and enlistedmen alike shouldered muskets to learn drill and worked side-by-side to clear brush to continue the care of Historic Fort Wayne. |
 The men seperated into two squads for instruction. One lead by Will Eichler and the other by Jeremy Bevard Photo by Mike Gillett |
