Description:Established as Fencibles, the regiment volunteered for general service, and became the 104th (New Brunswick) Regiment of Foot in the British Army in 1810. Nevertheless, they served in North America only. Their red uniforms had buff facings.The unit was trained in light infantry tactics with the intention of being formally converted to light infantry. Like light infantry units, they used bugles instead of drums to pass commands on the battlefield. There were many skilled axe-men and boatmen in the regiment. Their pre-war training also emphasized winter manoeuvres and amphibious operations.They made an epic winter march from Fredericton to Kingston in early 1813.

The flank companies suffered heavy casualties in a failed storming attempt during the Siege of Fort Erie.The unit was disbanded in 1817.
