Herzlich willkommen, werte Gentlemen. Wir sind das 104th Regiment der britischen Armee. Wir bieten sowohl Platz für deutsche, als auch für internationale Spieler. Das Regiment steht unter dem Kommando von Colonel vonKliff. Im deutschen Battalion wird zwar Deutsch während der Trainingseinheiten gesprochen, dennoch werden die Befehle auf Englisch gegeben, um die Kooperation mit dem internationalen Battalion einfacher zu gestalten. Das deutsche Battalion ist das erste (1Bat) und das internationale das zweite (2Bat). Desweiteren haben wir auch eine Artillerie Abteilung. Wir wollen, dass unsere Mitglieder hohe Disziplin haben und mit Stolz und Ehre auf dem Schlachtfeld kämpfen. Wir sind zwar noch ein relativ junges Regiment, doch wir werden wachsen und stärker werden. Unsere Offiziere waren in großen Regimentern wie 5th KGL, 8 LR, 1Rhein und haben jede Menge Erfahrung. Wir sind die geistigen Nachfolger der 2ndHessian und sind auch mit einem Großteil des 2ndHessian Oberkommandos bestückt. The French Revolution burst upon Europe in 1789. By 1793, Britain was at war with France, and had to defend her North American colonies against raids from bases in the United States. Three of the four regiments of British regulars stationed in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick were posted to the West Indies; to fill the gap created by their departure authority was granted to raise four provincial regiments of infantry, one in Nova Scotia, one in Newfoundland, one in Canada, and one in New Brunswick. These regiments were to serve only in their respective provinces, and were not part of the regular British establishment. In 1799, the status of the provincial regiments was cbanged to that of fencibles, so they could be committed to serve anywhere in North America. However, they were not called upon to do so, and with the Peace of Amiens in 1802 the regiments were disbanded. Peace was short-lived, and hostilities recommenced early in 1803. Once again, the shortage of regular British regiments left British North America in a difficult situation, and authority was granted to raise four fencible units, one each in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Canada. On 6 July 1803, Brigadier-General Martin Hunter was granted a letter of service authorizing him to raise a corps to be known as His Majesty's New Brunswick Regiment of Fencible Infantry. Unlike the previous unit, the new regiment of fencibles was to be part of the regular establishment of the British Army, although its service was restricted to North America. In 1808, the regiment volunteered for general service. The offer was rejected; but when it was renewed in 1810, the British authorities accepted, and the fencibles were elevated to an infantry regiment of the line. As the 104th (New Brunswick) Regiment of Foot, the unit could be moved to any British garrison or theatre of operations. When war with the United States broke out in June 1812, detachments of the 104th were posted throughout New Brunswick. The buildup of American troops in the Sackets Harbor area during the winter of 1812-13 implied that an invasion of Upper Canada would rake place in the spring. To strengthen the defences of Upper Canada, Sir George Prevost instructed Sir John Sherbrooke, commanding in Nova Scotia, to send six companies of the 104th overland to Quebec, and then on to Kingston. The headquarters and grenadier companies set out on snowshoes from Fredericton on 16 February 1813; one battalion company followed each succeeding day, with the light company bringing up the rear. In spite of temperatures of -31C the detachments arrived in Quebec in mid-March, travelling 550km in twenty-four days. After two weeks in garrison at Quebec, the 104th set out for Kingston; they arrived on 12 April having covered a total distance of 1125km. In the spring of 1813, the remaining companies sailed to Upper Canada, where the regiment remained for the duration of the war, participating in the battles of Sackets Harbor, Beaver Dam, and Lundy's Lane, the blockade of Fort George, and the assault on Fort Erie. When the war ended, in December 1814, the 104th (New Brunswick) Regiment was named part of the force of regulars and fencibles assigned to garrison duty in Canada. The regiment was stationed first in Quebec, and later in Montreal. With Napoleon imprisoned on St. Helena and peace established in Europe, Britain wished to reduce the strength of her army, and the 104th (New Brunswick) Regiment of Foot was ordered to disband on 24 May 1817. |  |
