WELCOME TO
REDCOATS
For hundreds of years, the distinctive red coat that gave
British troops their nickname was synonymous with an ideal
of military discipline, tactical prowess and the (sometimes
misplaced) might of empire. Now, discover the historical
roots of the iconic redcoat, from their tentative beginnings
in the Irish rebellions of the Elizabethan era to the New
Model Army of Oliver Cromwell, its role in the Restoration of
the British monarchy, and how this standing army
became the scarlet-clad fighting force famed
for engagements the world over, from the
shores of the British Isles to Europe, Africa,
Asia and North America. Learn about some
of the British Army’s greatest victories and
most disastrous defeats, explore the theatres
of war that they were deployed to, and
discover how the memory of the
brave redcoat and what he stood –
and was prepared to die – for has
informed British military and royal
tradition to this day.
