CONCLUSION.
The scene of the principal active services of the FORTY-SIXTH regiment, from its formation in 1741, until the present period, has been limited to North America and the West India Islands.
After the unsuccessful attach on Fort Ticonderago in July, 1758, the regiment shared in the capture of Fort Niagara on the 25th of July, 1759, and of other forts in Canada, which led to the surrender of Montreal on the 8th of September, 1760; and thus completed the conquest of that country,—Quebec having been acquired, in September of the preceding year, by the troops detached under Major-General Wolfe.
In February, 1762, the regiment shared in the capture of Martinique, which was followed by the reduction of Grenada, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent; and in August following was present at the conquest of the Havannah, which last acquisition was restored to Spain at the Peace of 1763.
The regiment embarked in 1776, for North America, and shared in several actions of the war with the United States until November, 1778, when it proceeded to the West Indies, and participated in the capture of St. Lucia in December following.
