"A Mari Usque ad Mare!"The Canadian Forces are calling for able bodied men to fill the ranks for the 33rd Regiment of The Foot.
Battles and History of the 33rd Regiment of The FootThe first large scale battle The 33rd found themselves in was in 1775 when some rowdy Americans broke away from the Empire, causing war. The 33rd was noted for it's Professionalism and Capability, almost unheard of from any other regiment in the British Army at the time. The first engagement of the 33rd was at The Battle of Sullivan's Island, also known as the First Siege of Charleston in early 1776 where British forces attempted to breakthrough the cities defenses. In august of that same year, the 33rd were involved in the Battle of Long Island, where a heavy defeat was given out to the revolting Americans, who retreated to Manhattan. The regiments next action came 2 weeks later, at the battle of Harlem Heights. After British forces had landed in New York, a force of British Light Infantry were pursuing an American Scout Patrol, and extended the forces too far. This had caused panic, as they were in danger of being cutoff in a counter attack. Luckily, the 33rd formed part of Lord Cornwallis' Reserve Corps were sent in to support the withdrawl. The 33rd were also involved in The Battle of Fort Washington, however after that the 33rd were not involved in a major battle until September of 1777, where they took part in The Battle of Brandywine where the British suffered 550 casualties, to the Americans ~1000, almost double. The regiment took action in the same year, at the Battle of Germantown, and The Battle of White Marsh, where they fought the Americans retreating from Germantown. The following year was just as active as the last, with the 33rd engaging at the Battle of Monmouth, the largest one day engagement of the war. Two years later, the regiment took part in the Siege of Charleston. The American general, Benjamin Lincoln, negotiated a surrender, and surrendered 7000 troops along with himself to British Forces.
After the American Revolution, the 33rd Regiment of The Foot was at Waterloo, stopping Napoleon's army under the 5th Brigade, commanded by Major General Sir Colin Halkett.
After some garrisoning in the West Indies, the 33rd Regiment of The Foot took part in the Crimean War against Russia, and contributed to major battles, such as The Siege of Sevastopol.
The first Victoria cross recipient transferred to The 33rd Regiment of The Foot in 1864, a certain Alexander Roberts Dunn, as a Lt.Col. Alexander Dunn, and many others in the 33rd were Canadian Volunteers.
