| MOST ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT HAMPTON'S BATTERY F SINCE 1994 *List Originated here in 1994 at Hampton's Battery F* *HOW OLD MUST YOU BE TO BECOME A MEMBER? (You must be 16 years of age or older) and to serve on the cannon crew. Younger members may be admitted on an individual basis in a non-firing capacity, a PARENT must be present at all activities. But a younger member can be a bugler or a flag bearer. *WILL I NEED TO GET MY UNIFORM IMMEDIATELY? No, but try to be in a basic artillery uniform and have your basic accouterments to start participating. *WILL I NEED TO ATTEND EVERY EVENT TO REMAIN A MEMBER? No, in this Battery it is not required. *BESIDES REENACTING, WHAT ELSE IS THIS UNIT INVOLVED IN? This unit participates in dedications, parades, living histories, memorial services and fund raising activities. *HOW STRICT ARE YOU ABOUT AUTHENTICITY AND UNIT POLICY? We try to be as authentic as possible, no modern items are used only when necessary. The membership is guided by our By-Laws that the organization has agreed to since the unit was formed. *HOW MUCH ARE YOUR DUES? General Membership at present is $20.00 per person and for a family it is $30.00 per year. Additional $10.00 per member for unit insurance is required.

They are expected to follow the same rules as the rest of the membership does. *WHAT DO YOU USE THE DUES FOR?

HOW DO YOU BECOME A MEMBER The Hampton’s Battery F is selective in what we seek as members of this unit. We are looking for people who have a genuine interest in the Civil War and a sincere willingness to authentically recreate the life of a Union soldier in the Artillery. If you are interested in our organization, here are the steps you need to follow to join: MEET THE MEMBERS The first step is to meet the members of Hampton’s Battery F. Every unit has a different personality to it, and perhaps you would feel better with another Battery. If interested in our Battery, come see us at a living history event and decide whether you like this hobby. Reenacting can be a physically and strenuous hobby to be involved in. It is not for everyone. EXPRESS YOUR INTEREST TO US Next, if you have decided you would like to try us out, get in touch with us and let us know you are interested. Give us some background about yourself and ask any questions you may have. We can put you on our e-mailing list and invite you to observe a future event. BECOME A MEMBER Once we have gotten acquainted with each other and you have read our By-Laws and fully understand its meaning then you will be voted in as a member. In some cases you maybe voted in as a probationary member if you have been with another unit. In this unit there is no number of required events to attend. After your first battle you will be given your cross cannons and the Company “F” to put on your cap by the Commander. You will receive a color copy of the document from the State Senate acknowledging our unit as the official Hampton’ s Battery F reenactment unit. Also after one year of membership in good standing with the Battery you will receive The Hampton’s Battery F Challenge Coin. UNIFORM AND EQUIPMENT You must acquire a basic uniform and the minimum equipment to participate in events with the Battery in order to present a good cannoneers impression. If need the membership will be glad to guide you to places were you can find good quality uniforms and equipment to purchase. It is not a good idea too cut corners nor buy on impulse. This hobby is expensive enough without having to buy something twice again. We do not recommend any one particular Civil War Sutler to purchase from. All have different prices and quality of merchandise. We do recommend for you to take your time to compare and look for specials. Warning ! Beware of clothing that is Foreign made in India or Pakistan. After buying a Union Artillery Shell Jacket and Trousers, I would rather buy from a reputable sutler selling American Made uniforms, but that is my Opinion. Your Basic Uniform Civil War period shoes “Brogans,” $65 to $95 Boots, $175 to $235 Federal Issue (sky-blue kersey) foot trousers and suspenders - $45 to $95 Artillery Shell Jacket with red piping - $55 to $120 Model 1858 Forage (“bummer’s”) cap - $35 to $45 Federal Issue Shirt - $22 - $35 Your Basic Equipment Tarred Haversack US (food bag) $26 to $32 Model 1858 US Canteen with blue covering, Stainless $48 and Tin $29.95 Cup, knife, fork, spoon, plate - $35 Sword belt and buckle $45 - $95 or Belt with US Plate - $24 to $35 “A” Tent basic size $145 to $165 Optional items you should eventually get.
