    1st South Carolina Rifles Companies K and L (EU)

    **** 1st South Carolina rifles Company K ****

    Hello ladies, gentlemen and poor wee neutrals I would like to invite you to join the Marshall Guards and the Calhoun Guards who together form the 1st battalion 1St South Carolina rifles EU We are a pair of companies formed to be GMT zone based we are looking primarily for EU players but anyones welcome. We are a line company however like most companies of the era we will practice in skirmishing. We aim to be akin to the grenadier companies of Europe during this time where we will be the bravest and smartest dressed in the regiment haha. Part of the platoon system is to make us more flexible so we can deploy a platoon or section forward to scout or skirmish.

    [Regimental And Company History]


    On 20 July 1861, James Lawrence Orr organized the First South Carolina Rifle Regiment at Sandy Springs South Carolina, in July, 1861. Its members were recruited in the counties of Abbeville, Pickens, Anderson, and Marion.

    Companies K and K were formed from men of Anderson county in South Carolin https://familysearch.org/wiki/en/And...olina#Military See link for detailed information.

    First posted to Sullivan's Island, SC to defend Charleston Harbor, others called them the "Pound Cake Regiment" in reference to their "light" garrison duty. In April 1862, the full-strength 1,000-man unit was transferred to Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia (ANV). In June, it was incorporated into Gregg's Brigade, of A.P. Hill's Light Division, of Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson Corps (often termed the "Left Wing" early in the war). Later the regiment endured the hardships of the Petersburg trenches and the Appomattox operations. Of the 537 engaged at Gaines' Mill , fifty-nine percent were killed, wounded or missing. The unit reported 116 casualties at Second Manassas and 170 at Fredericksburg , then lost forty-nine percent of the 233 at Chancellorsville and three percent of the 366 at Gettysburg . There were 12 killed and 81 wounded at The Wilderness , 15 killed, 36 wounded, and 44 missing at Spotsylvania , 3 killed and 34 wounded at Deep Bottom , and 9 killed and 37 wounded at Poplar Springs Church .

    It surrendered 9 officers and 148 men.

    We are a mature casual fun loving company with a love of living history.
    We understand people have life's out with gaming which is but a hobby so to that end we will not be having compulsory events. I'll post a proper event schedule later but we are thinking of a weekday training session then one European event at the weekend. We aim to not only create a "clan" but a community and some of us already play other games together using the same community principles which works really well.
