On April 14, 2013, The Old Barracks in Trenton, NJ hosted a Commemoration of the Treaty Of Paris of 1763 which ended the Anglo-French War as part of the Seven Years War [also known as the French And Indian War (which I prefer not to use)]. The Old Barracks itself was built during and was used during this particular War (specifically in 1758). It was stop number two of my History Marathon/History Workout that day.
I was glad to see the Old Barracks host an event for such an overlooked conflict. I had to attend. Here are some photographs and a video of the day ...
The "GR" on the helmet stands for George Rex (King George II):
This video features parts:
1.) Entering The Barracks
2.) A Cabin With Supplies And Food
3.) A Training March And Musket Drill
Note: It is also known as the "Peace Of Paris" and the "Treaty Of 1763".
I am a(n) researcher and archivist.
