1781 Militia re-enact the Battle of Jersey

The 1781 Jersey Militia commemorated the 234th anniversary of The Battle of Jersey this afternoon.

The 6th January marks the Battle of Jersey and the disbandment of the Jersey Company, both events happening on the same day, in the years 1781 and 1918 respectively.

Earlier today a march from the Town Hall to the Royal Square in procession with the Caledonian Pipes and Drums and Jersey Militia took place, followed by a volley of musket fire once the march had reached the Royal Square.

The march then left the Royal Square to head to the Town Hall for lunch in the Assembly Room.
