Join in the celebration, as the 104th (New Brunswick) Regiment of Foot arrives at the Parade Square, Royal Military College at 3 pm.The winter of 1813 was one of extreme cold and heavy snows. Between February and April, New Brunswick’s 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.Partners in the provinces of New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario are proud to be commemorating this epic winter march with a re-enactment in the winter and spring of 2013. This re-enactment will re-trace the steps the soldiers of New Brunswick’s 104th Regiment of Foot marched on their way to the theatre of war.
