Ptes Legge and Martin strike up a conversation with men re-enacting the Royal Highlanders of the mid-18th century. (July 2006) From Signal Hill in Newfoundland, a recreation of marching and arms from the 1790s.  (July 2006)

The Gattling Gun in action...it was completely shrouded in smoke just a few seconds later!  (July 2006) With the standard 'hurry up and wait' planning in action, members of Bydand Forever became very familiar with the rear parking lot at the Citadel.  (July 2006)
Les Bon Vivants of Bydand Forever...All kitted up for the Sunset Ceremony, Ptes Legge and Martin are ready for some post-ceremony pub crawling.  (July 2006) Michael 'Doc' LaMar and Casey 'Mini' LaMar take in the sights of the Sunset Ceremony.  Doc earned his moniker several times over during the week!  (July 2006)

After marching in line straight up the steep grade above the garrison parade ground, Bydand fixes bayonets and prepares to advance.
After taking possession of the Citadel, Bydand members became responsible for standing duty.  Here, Pte Legge stands easy at his post.

The combined units form up in a square and prepare to receive cavalry.  The ever-daring Sgt Inglett has stepped outside the protection to make sure all is well.
Doc LaMar stands ready to weather the elements...a summer tropical storm made life interesting!

Brigade Fire!  During our joint shows with the Diehards and the 78th Highlanders, our 'brigade fire' of a single volley from all three units was a thing of beauty.

A very Bydand Christmas...the men, ladies, and guests of Bydand Forever gather at A Taste of India (Miramar Rd, San Diego, CA...excellent food!!) to celebrate our Savior's birth. (Dec 2005)


Becky and John have been part of Bydand for several years now.  We were very pleased to celebrate their wedding at the Seaside Highland Games in October 2005.  All the best, Beck & John!!

Everyone is busy after a performance, cleaning weapons, securing equipment, or answering questions.  Here, The Duck gets to work on the Gatling Gun.  (October 2005)

Bydand takes its role as a field unit very seriously; at least twice a year, we take the Martini-Henry rifles out to a range to put some lead down range, and participate in annual marksmanship competition.  Here, our Senior Piper gets in on the action.
