Elements of the new regiment fought at Louisbourg in June 1758, the Cape Sable Campaign in September 1758 and Quebec in September 1759, and finally the Montreal Campaign from July to September 1760 which finally wrested Canada from France. At Quebec General James Wolfe is said to have granted the 60th the motto Celer et Audax (Swift and Bold). To reward and maintain their service and loyalty, Parliament passed the American Protestant Soldier Naturalization Act 1762 ( 2 Geo. 3. c. 25), which offered British naturalization to those officers, engineers and soldiers who had or would serve for two years, with certain conditions and on the model of the Plantation Act 1740.

The 17th (Service) Battalion (British Empire League) landed at Le Havre as part of the 117th Brigade in the 39th Division in March 1916 for service on the Western Front.

If the genealogy is common, the same does not happen with heraldry, limited to those who have the right to use a coat of arms, generally as a consequence of the granting of a title.The shield, therefore, is not proper to a surname but to a lineage, that is, of people who descend from the one to whom the right to the shield was granted.

The 127th Battalion (12th York Rangers), CEF was authorized on 22 December 1915 and embarked for Britain on 21 August 1916. It provided reinforcements to the Canadian Corps in the field until 20 November 1916 when it was reorganized as a railway battalion. It disembarked in France on 13 January 1917, and was redesignated the 2nd Battalion, Canadian Railway Troops, CEF on 3 February 1917, where it provided special engineering services to the British Expeditionary Force in France and Flanders until the end of the war. During the Peninsular War, the services of the 95th Rifles led to fame and frequent mentions in despatches as their united battalions in the Light Division fought with distinction. No less of a band of skirmishers were the 5th Batt. 60th Rifles, the eyes and ears of the other divisions; why they did not receive the same plaudits as their brother riflemen of the 95th is one of the injustices of the Peninsular War, even though it disbanded soon after war end. The men of the 5th Batt. 60th never fought as a united body being distributed in companies amongst the British brigades, and as such never received the attention that they deserved. This book, written by an officer of the 60th, seeks to rectify that error. The 2nd Battalion, 6th Field Artillery was constituted 5 July 1838 in the regular army as Battery K, 1st regiment of artillery. It was organized 11 August 1838 at Fort Hamilton, New York. Esq.

In 1866, the regiment had an average strength of 513 men. There were 669 hospital admissions (1304.1 admissions per 1000 of mean strength) with 1 death in hospital (1.95 deaths per 1000 of mean strength). It had 150 admissions (292/1000 mean strength) for continued fevers with no deaths. The cases of continued fevers in the 60th accounted for more than a quarter of the total number of admissions into hospital. The majority were of a mild type and were blamed on exposure to the sun.
