Gloucester Light Infantry participates in 18th
century battle re-enactments, parades, historical events,
and various civic functions. The unit is based out of
Gloucester, Rhode Island but events are not limited to
the state of Rhode Island. The company does travel
out of state for several events a year. Gloucester Light
Infantry is seeking enlistees over the age of 16 for
Musketmen, Artillerymen, and the Color Guard.
Gloucester Light Infantry Field Music is
