Additional Information
Members of the CMHS study all aspects of Canadian military history and re-enact time periods of historical interest. Each member has the rare opportunity to gain knowledge while recreating the experience of the Canadian soldier in combination with the study of wars involving Canada.
The CMHS hopes to "educate through living history" by attending air shows, museums and historical sites where the unit displays a large collection of uniforms, weapons, personal effects and documents from various periods. The society also participates in re-enactment displays in Canada and the U.S.A. at various historical and military sites. The 49th Foot had been involved in the 175th and 180th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo on the historical grounds in Belgium.
