Hi Zachary, we appreciate the comment and thanks for watching! Historically, only enlisted carried hangers. Officers carried swords in the 18th century and have likewise carried them in our recreated unit since its inception. The research was surrounding the question of if the enlisted men had them in Boston!
We appreciate the comment and thanks for watching! Its been a long process, we are ecstatic to have our grenadier company field with them this weekend for Patriots Day!
I wasn't aware that rank and file soldiers would still be carrying swords at this point in history. How often if at all did the grenadiers actually use these in battle?
Curious to know who made the hangers. I’m also intrigued to know if the enlisted men will be using a waist or shoulder belt for carriage. The sergeant’s belt looks the same as worn by all ranks during the Seven Years War. Outstanding work. Kudos to all.
Hello, I am Serjeant Murray of the 10th Grenadiers and appreciate your compliment! The enlisted men will wear them with waistbelts just like I do. There is a lot of disagreement about whether or not soldiers at this time had waistbelts or shoulder belts. What our Materials Research Group has found was that over the course of the war many units began wearing their waistbelts over the shoulder, but it was not until after the war that became a formal rule. For example, the 25th Regiment of Foot, Inspection Return of 18th-21st of June 1777 states, ”…Grenadiers had waist-belts over the over shoulder”.
Grenadiers had swords, according to Sylvanus Wood's recollection 50+ years later. The described one who had: one gun & bayonett a large cutlash & brass fender one box over the shoulder with 22 rounds one box round thee waist with 18 rounds,
No, we are a group of lovers of history who volunteer for this hobby. Some of our members have current or former experience serving in the military, but there is no relationship between the two. We do keep in touch with an actual unit in the British Army that is decended from the 10th Regiment though.
Hi there, per Sjt. Murray's response, there is no official affiliation between us and the US military, though we have many members with previous military experience. Thanks for watching!
Just having Hangars for everyone or even just the enlisted is a Huge achievement. Definitely could be used as a Right of Passage into the Regiment.

Great presentation 😊 impressed by the research into the 10th foot grenadiers use of hangars in the American war .
We appreciate the comment and thanks for watching!
We are thrilled to see this! Congrats on the research and the progress! Nice!!

We appreciate your comment! Please refer to Sjt. Murray’s reply above
The hangers were made through US Sword & Uniform
@@HM10thFoot would you be able to message me their contact information?
Brilliant choice of intro music. For all the things you can shit on The Patriot for, John Williams' soundtrack isn't one of 'em.
Hi there, we agree! We appreciate the comment and thanks for watching!
Where can one buy this new Hanger in the video?
By joining the 10th Grenadiers!

Thanks for sharing! Very interesting!
what a coincidence, I've been talking with a blade-smith to have a Sword/Saber made for my Militia Regiment (7th CT Militia)
Interesting! Keep us posted and thanks for watching!
Are your volunteers former servicemen awarded rank formally whilst actually serving in the forces .
