History
Founded as The South New Brunswick Regiment in 1946 by the amalgamation of The Saint John Fusiliers (M.G.) and The New Brunswick Rangers, the regiment acquired its present title in 1946 shortly after establishment.[1] In 1954, as a result of the Kennedy Report on the Reserve Army, this regiment was amalgamated with The Carleton and York Regiment to form 1st Battalion The Royal New Brunswick Regiment (Carleton and York).[1]
The regiment before amalgamation held its final Order of Precedence as 30.[2]
