In 1997, a series of short films were made at Fort Henry for the Bravo channel. In this clip, the Drill Squad of the Fort Henry Guard demonstrates bayonet exercise and marches out the East Gate to fire a volley followed by some file firing. The Squad is under the direction of Sergeant Major Mark Downie.

The Guard represents the British military of 1867, and they use the Snider-Enfield breech-loading rifle for their drill and demonstrations. The Snider-Enfield was adopted by the British starting in 1866 - prior to that, they would have been using the pattern 1853 Enfield.

I would love to know how they get/make their hats since I'm looking to do a similar era that uses those Shakos

When I worked there the supplier was Muir Cap and Regalia in Toronto, but that may have changed in the last 25 years.

0:08: Squad will prepare for bayonet exercises 0:18: Quick March 0:35: Squad, order arms 0:46: Squad will fix bayonets. Squad fix bayonets. 1:00: Squad, shoulder arms After 2:20, the commands are pretty badly obscured by the music, and what commands I could hear weren't well synced up with what the squad is doing. 2:35 is, I think, "Squad will form fours to the left, squad left" 3:02 sounds like "Flanking parties, lodge arms", though that doesn't happen in the video until 3:22. The rest of the sequence through the gate, I can't tell. 3:51: For rifle exercises, Port arms 4:16: Squad, for volley, ready 4:30: Squad, ready 4:34: Squad, present 4:51: Squad, ready 4:54: For file firing, commence 5:18: Cease firing
