inguished for having undergone most amazing fatigues, made long
and frequent marches through an unhospitable country, bearing
excessive heat and severe cold with alacrity and cheerfulness,
frequently encamping in deep snow, such as those that inhabit the
interior parts of this province do not see, and which only those who
inhabit the most northern parts of Europe can have any idea of,
continually exposed in camp and on their marches to the alarms of a
savage enemy, who, in all their attempts, were forced to fly. * * *
And, in a particular manner, the freemen of this and the neighboring
provinces have most sincerely to thank them for that resolution and
bravery with which they, under Colonel Boquet, and a small number of
Royal Americans, defeated the enemy, and ensured to us peace and
security from a savage foe; and, along with our blessings for these
benefits, they have our thanks for that decorum in behavior which
they maintained during their stay in this city, giving an example
that the most amiable behavior in civil life is no way inconsistent
with the character of the good soldier; and for their loyalty,
fidelity, and orderly behavior, they have every wish of the people
for health, honor, and a pleasant voyage."
The loss sustained by the regiment during the seven years it was
employed in America and the West Indies was as follows:
