Royal Fencible American Regiment
''Not to be confused with Nova Scotia Fencibles''
The Royal Fencible American Regiment of Foot (or RFA) was a Loyalist battalion of infantry raised in 1775 to defend British interests in the colony of Nova Scotia. The RFA was commanded by Lt. Col. Joseph Goreham throughout its existence. The most notable achievement of the RFA (and its only combat as a regiment) was the successful defense of Fort Cumberland during the Eddy Rebellion in November, 1776, which prevented the revolution in the other American colonies from moving into Nova Scotia.

Proposed to raise a Battalion of Light infantry or Royal Fensible Americans, To consist of Five Companies.
