Thank you for visiting our web site.
We are a Living History and Re-enactment group, representing one of the famous British Army Regiments of the early 19th Century - The 44th East Essex. The 44th has a long history stretching back to its origination in 1748 and through subsequent changes and amalgamations. Its roots are embodied in the current Royal Anglian Regiment.
This site will give you the opportunity to find out virtually everything there is to know about our group and the 44th itself - Our History, what we do and where we go, both at home and overseas.
You will be able to see what our future plans are and we hope get a good idea of the sort of people we are, our respect for our Regiment’s heritage and our efforts to be as authentic as possible in everything we do.

We have of course to apologise for the decimation of our event calendar in 2020. At present there are only 3 possible events remaining on our calendar (see our events calendar page) and even these are of course subject to future conditions. Here’s hoping! We would also ask you to tolerate possible comments in pages of this site that refer to things in 2020 that are no longer relevant. We have not scanned every page in detail so such inaccuracies may remain. Anyway we
such inaccuracies may remain.
The men and women of the 44th await like a coiled spring.
WE WILL RETURN!
