Great news.

"We would like to formally announce the creation of the UK-based 'Le Régiment Gatinois', as a constituent group of @redsandrevs and in conjunction with the US-based 18th Gatinois
The project aims to present an accurate, evidenced, progressive, and accessible representation of a grenadier company of the French Royal Army at the Battle of Yorktown, in 1781, and will work towards appearances at the appropriate 250th anniversaries of the French military presence in America.
To achieve this, we are looking to add to our small group of experienced reenactors who, working in collaboration with well-established international living history groups and with academics in the field, are utilising good quality research to inform our impression. Our equipment and uniforms are grounded in this research and, where direct source material is unavailable, steps will be be taken to incorporate wider understandings of the period to maintain a high standard of representation.
And if you're interested in joining us, drop us a message! We're open to all who are willing to carry a musket and serve King Louis (and we're even happy to supply a moustache if necessary), or to those keen to help supply the French forces whilst on campaign.
Vive le Roi! "
