The HRGM was formed in 1998 and is committed to
the presentation of living history, focused on the Napoleonic
period. Members research life and activities of this epoch and put
their findings into practice, recreating daily life as realistically
as possible. This may be the typical day of a soldier in a military
garrison or that of the civilian population of all classes,
presented as a tangible experience for spectators, an experience
which brings to life written accounts of the period.
Members have formed representative military units
of the late 18th century, the Regimento
di Malta, the Cacciatori Maltesi and the Militia
all regiments of the Knights of St. John, as well as the Maltese
Light Infantry, the first Maltese corps of the British Army
which was set up by Capt. James Weir during the blockade of the
French, and the 19th demi-brigade of the line, a French unit which
was stationed in Malta during the blockade. The HRGM can also field
a team of armed Maltese insurgents, as well as peasants, camp
followers and other civilians.
Through the European
Napoleonic Society (ENS), the HRGM is in close contact with other
units re-enacting the Napoleonic period. This ensures a permanent
exchange of experience and information. Extensive research,
meticulous attention to detail and sound training by experienced
re-enactors guarantee a result worthy of our members’ dedication.
