The Museum Collection: 10th Royal Veteran Battalion 1812
Manufacture Product Number : WBN-10198 1/30 Scale |
| Between 1802 and 1820, 13 Royal Garrison Battalions, renamed Royal Veteran Battalions in 1804, were raised, taking into service army pensioners and invalids. Generally, these battalions worked in depots and stores doing administration and support work, enabling more able-bodied soldiers to campaign. In December 1806, the 10th Royal Veteran Battalion was established on the Isle of Wight for service in Canada with the promise of land in Canada upon their retirement or the battalion’s disbandment. The 10th Royal Veteran Battalion arrived in Quebec the following year with a full complement of officers and 600 other ranks and were dispersed to various forts in Canada. When the War of 1812 broke out, the 10th RVB serving at Fort St. Joseph went into active service crossing Lake Huron in July of 1812 to capture Fort Mackinac. The following year members participated at River Raisin and the failed assault on Fort Stephenson. |
