Rogers Rangers – Captain Paterson is standing on the beachhead after an amphibious landing during the French & Indian War period, as a Rogers Ranger. The French were defeated during this particular siege of 1758 resulting in the fall of Fortress Louisbourg located in Cape Breton Nova Scotia. The fall of Quebec City followed shortly after. Rogers Rangers were British troops.

This particular unit of Rogers Rangers re-enactment group was established by Scotty in Brantford, Ontario, Canada in 1995. Sergeant Zig Misiak was his second at that time has since passed on that role to Sergeant Rick Thompson.  

The 60th (Royal American) Regiment of Foot –  also later known as The King’s Royal Rifle Corps. 2nd and 3rd battalions were present at the battles of Louisbourg and Quebec City. Regiment of Foot was ordered to dress exactly like a regiment of the British Army, except that the uniform was to have no regimental lace, in recognition of the regiment’s proposed role in the forest warfare of North America. Later as they lingered in North America they threw away their heavy regimental coats, cutting their tri corns to hats, wearing leather leggings and moccasins.
