The Untold Story of the Colonial Marines
Today’s interview with Matthew Taylor blew my mind. The Colonial Marines are a unit I’d never heard of and they fought in Battles I didn’t know about.
These escaped black American slaves joined the British cause during the War of 1812.
The unit was a force multiplier – men who knew the battlefields like the back of their hand and were highly motivated.
Matt’s book is launched at the National Army Museum on the 6th April 2024 and tickets can be purchased here – https://www.nam.ac.uk/whats-on/black-redcoats-corps-colonial-marines
