British regiments served in Canada until the Treaty of Washington in 1871. Saint John and St. Andrews were the two main Garrison towns, with a smaller group at Fredericton. In addition to their actual military duties, the British regiments made a large contribution to the colonies, not just by their services as surveyors, engineers, and builders, but to the social and cultural life of the garrison towns and cities where they served. Some married and children might be born in several towns as the regiment’s posting changed. <ref name=mil/> | British regiments served in Canada until the Treaty of Washington in 1871.
