Join up now by emailing theearlofmanchesters@ The baggage train consists of various roles, including battlefield water carriers, whose job it is to supply the thirsty troops with water and support them during a battle. The goodwives are a vital part of the regiment and do everything from cooking as part of our historical encampment events to organising and running the baggage train. The baggage train is where an army on the march kept its supplies and stores. It would follow the army, often becoming the target of enemy raids.
