Carillon by the 42nd Regiment of Foot during the French & Indian, aka Seven Years War. There will be a re-enactment of the event June 27-29 at Fort Ticonderoga. For more info see:

    I'll be there as a New York Provincial infantryman. Can't wait to see the highlanders assault the French Lines! (They get shot to pieces, but it'll still be a grand sight...!)

    Don't know about video, at the last event I attended there was some, but I know there will be stills.

    What you mean I'm going to get killed? I'm going to be one of those highlanders. I'll get whatever pics I can and post them at the first opportunity.
