Royal Engineers, Columbia Detachment
The Columbia detachment of the Royal Engineers was a British military contingent that played a major role in the settlement, development and security of the new British Columbia. Sent at the request of Governor James Douglas to help maintain order during the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush, the detachment was created by an Act of the British Parliament on 2 August 1858 and commanded by Col. Richard Moody. The cost of the detachment was borne by the colony.
==Organisation==
The corps consisted of 150 sappers, and was later increased to 172. Moody had three captains: Robert Mann Parsons, John Marshall Grant and Henry Reynolds Luard. The contingent also included two subalterns, Lt. Arthur Lempriere (later a Major-General) and Lt. Henry Palmer, and a surgeon, Dr John Vernon Seddall. Captain William Driscoll Gosset, a retired Royal Engineer, was appointed a civilian treasurer and commissary officer.
Rev. John Sheepshanks served as the detachment’s chaplain, and Robert Burnaby was retained for a time as Moody’s personal secretary.
