The Sixth Regiment of Foot at Lower Fort Garry

by William R. Morrison

Abstract

The Sixth, or Royal First Warwickshire Regiment of Foot was sent to Lower Fort Garry during 1846-48 to protect British interests in the threat of war between Britain and the United States. The danger proved to be illusory, and the attack against which the regiment stood guard never came.
