Retro Soldiers Go Wayback for 2011 Parade

Hillsborough's 2011 Memorial Day Parade was much the same as in past years - marching band, fire companies, Scouts, and youth sports leagues were all in their usual places.

But at least one group seemed out of step, or at least, unfamiliar.

Take a look at these photos from recent parades.

The "retro-soldiers" have always cultivated a definite 20th century appearance - until this year:

It looks like they set the Wayback Machine for the mid 1700s!
