- ... that the 104th (New Brunswick) Regiment of Foot marched 1,100 kilometres (680 miles), some of it in snowshoes, during the Canadian winter to fight in the War of 1812? " On 16 February 1813, the first of six of the 104th Regiment’s ten companies, consisting of approximately twenty officers and 550 men left Fredericton on snowshoes pulling toboggans. On 15 March, the regiment arrived in Quebec City and, after a short period of rest, continued on to Kingston, Ontario. They marched in harsh winter weather some 1,100 km for an average of 54 days, arriving in time to participate in an assault on the key American naval base at Sackets Harbor." from: "Winter March of the 104th Regiment".

New article that was moved to mainspace on 1 December 2020 is 13,376 characters and nominated on the same day. No copyvios detected [1] and duplication detector [2][3][4] reveal no close paraphrasing issues (AGF Google Books with no preview and scanned refs which can't go through Dup detector). Article are well-sourced. Hook is 166 characters long (under 200 character max.) and is interesting. Ref 19 (verifying the hook) is a reliable source from the University of New Brunswick. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 01:42, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
