Regiments / 4th Royal Veterans Battalion [NA]
« on: June 14, 2016, 03:26:22 am »


History of the Regiment

Established in December 1806 for service in Canada, the 10th Royal Veteran Battalion arrived in Quebec the following year with a full complement of officers and 600 other ranks. As the name implies, this corps was formed with veterans from other regiments and each individual volunteering to the unit was promised land in Canada upon their retirement or the battalion's disbandment.  When war broke out, the 10th RVB was the first into action.  The detachment of veterans at Fort St. Joseph crossed Lake Huron in July 1812 and captured Fort Michlimackinac.  The following year members participated at River Raisin and Fort  Stephenson (Miami).  As new regiments arrived in Canada, the 10th Royal Veterans were slowly withdrawn from areas of action to do garrison duty in Lower Canada, Prince Edward Island, and Cape Breton.  In April 1813 a corps of seventeen "Mounted Veterans" was formed presumably for maintaining communications between the various posts around Montreal.  The Battalion was renumbered to the 4th RVB and was disbanded in 1816. 


In recent months the 7/60th has come to work closely with the 10th Royal Veteran Battalion, a unit of ‘veteran’ re-enactors and former staff from Historic Fort York in Toronto, Ontario.  Research undertaken by Chris Laverton of the 10 RVB has now shown there is a historical basis to this connection!   No. 6 Coy, 7/60th Regt. relieved elements of the 1o RVB on Prince Edward Island in 1815, as shown by an extract from the following document:


Halifax, 20 June 1815


Sir,


Since my letter of yesterday’s date, I have considered it advisable that it might be advisable to send a Company of the 10th Royal Veterans from Prince Edward Island also to Quebec, in addition to the two companies from hence:  I have therefore directed a company of the 7th Battn. 60th Regt. to proceed to Prince Edward Island, to relieve the Company of Royal Veterans, which will then embark with the two others for Quebec.
