Battle of Stillman's Run

 Battle of Stillman's Run - Wikipedia

The Battle of Stillman's Run, also known as the Battle of Sycamore Creek or the Battle of Old Man's Creek, occurred in Illinois on May 14, 1832. The battle was named for the panicked retreat by Major Isaiah Stillman and his detachment of 275 Illinois militia after being attacked by an unknown number of Sauk warriors of Black Hawk's British Band.

'The regiment recently spent a day filming for a Documentary on the 7 Years War in North America. Some private woodland in Worcestershire provided a wonderful setting as the backwoods of the Ohio Valley, Pennsylvania.

We were joined by our friends from the Edinburgh City Guard and the Worcestershire Cavalry. The documentary will be out in July, but here are some sneak preview shots courtesy of Manth Photography
