Records
of the French soldiers who served in America during the French and Indian
War (Guerie de Sept Ans) from 1758-63, are at the Archives
Nationales du Québec in Sainte-Foy. The most famous of the French
regiments is the Carignan-Salières Regiment, which was sent to Canada in
1665 to secure the colony from Mohawk and Iroquois attacks. About a third
