- Description
- This a photographic print of a soldier of the 100th Regiment in the War of 1812. It was painted by Alexander R. Cattley in 1929. The 100th Regiment of Foot, also known as the Prince Regiment of Dublin County, were raised in 1805.
With few exceptions, all the officers and men were Irish. A wing (11 officers and 260 N. C. O. and men) were lost by shipwreck on a voyage to Quebec on the 21st of October, 1805. During the War of 1812 the 100th Regiment was in the fighting line at Sackett's Harbour, Plattsburg, Chippawa, Black Rock, Fort Niagara (Grenadier Company), and Fort Erie (assault). They also acted as marines on the ships "Wolfe" and "Melville" on Lake Ontario. Upon the removal of the Riiie Brigade from the line in 1816 this regiment was re-numbered "the 99th" which later disbanded at Chatham in 1818. This Regiment had "Niagara" on its colours. - Date of Original
