New Brunswick Provincial Regiment

[R3dIndian]

Found this button in a farm field today along with an 1865 IH that's terribly crusty.

The New Brunswick Provincial Regiment was established in 1793 and existed until 1799 when it was converted to the New Brunswick Fencibles and then to the Royal New Brunswick Fencibles in 1800. It's not in fantastic shape but what would be after roughly 220 years?

Hey IP do you still have that button and do you have a picture of the one you found, it would be cool to see it too.

Some intersting reading.

They're kind of a pain to dig up at the moment, but I might give it a shot tomorrow night. I also have both a pewter and silver officer NB 104th, and a NB Regiment.

During the War of 1812, the winter of 1813 was one of extreme cold and heavy snows. Between February and April, the 104th Regiment of Foot marched more than 1100 kilometres from Fredericton, New Brunswick to Kingston, Ontario to reinforce British troops and thwart an expected invasion by the Americans. This effort by a regiment of poorly clothed, frostbitten and hungry soldiers stands as an incredible feat in military history. This series commemorates the March of New Brunswick’s 104th and the locations where they manned forts, blockhouses, and outposts as well as some key personnel.
