<p>Legviiii: annotate dead link, provide new link to &quot;About us&quot;</p> <hr /> <div>The '''Pike and Musket Society''' or the '''Routiers''' are a [[living history]] organisation whose focus is on the military aspects of [[17th century]] [[Europe]]. It was formed in [[Australia]] but has international associations.<br /> <br /> They concentrate on the Trained Bands (or &quot;Trayned Bandes&quot; if you prefer) of [[London]] during the period of the [[English Civil War]]. Even more specifically, the Second Captain's Company of the Green Band. The Society's aim is for as much historical accuracy as is practicable. [[Clothing]], [[weapon]]s and accoutrements are carefully reconstructed, based on historical [[research]], preferably using [[primary source|primary (period) sources]].<br /> <br /> Their reasoning is &quot;to take historical [[re-enactment]] seriously, and ourselves seriously not at all!&quot; - the opposite tack to some other organisations. <br /> <br /> Website: http://www.theroutiers.org/<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;<br /> ''The above description is based on the content of the old website http://www.theroutiers.org/whatis.htm'' [dead link August 2014]<br /> &lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> The website has since been updated with a new &quot;About us&quot; section. http://theroutiers.org/wp/about-us/<br /> <br /> ==External Links==<br /> '''See Also:'''<br /> * [http://www.theroutiers.org The Pike and Musket Society]<br /> [[category:re-enactment groups]]</div>

<p>Legviiii: </p> <hr /> <div>&quot;There is a historical habit of some members bad-mouthing the other society on the basis of previous incidents involving members some of which have since left the societies. Some of this ridiculing may still be found on various webpages.&quot;<br /> <br /> I'll declare my interest before starting: I am the Public Officer of the Pike and Musket Society. I think the quote above outdated, but I'm too close to the action (as it were) to go editing the entry. Most, if not all of us, associate with SCA members these days. Some good-natured ribbing does happen, but no more than we inflict on ourselves as well.<br /> <br /> *I've removed the paragraph, and thank you for calling attention to it. I frankly felt that, as written, it was combative in tone and irrelevant to the informational nature of this website. [[User:Paul Matisz]] 08:27 EDT 04/26/09<br /> <br /> Thanks, when originally written it probably was a fair reflection of the animosity between the two groups.</div>
