Description

1 item (originally accompanying a report by Captain Ford, 20 October 1853) extracted from WO 55/1621/5. New Brunswick (now in Canada). 'Plan of reserved lands at Fort Cumberland': (this area, just north of the boundary with Nova Scotia, is now Fort Beauséjour National Historic Site, Aulac). Reference table to buildings. Compass indicator. MS enodorsement, in coloured pencil: 'Nova Scotia' and '1621/7'. Captain Ford's report was written in response to a letter from the Officer Commanding the Royal Engineers, 13 September 1853; the report is not preserved at the parent reference.

Although, according to the placement of the dummy, this plan was extracted from WO 55/1621/5, it probably belongs properly with the missing WO 55/1621/7. A search of WO 55/1620/3, which relates to Nova Scotia a this period, found no obviously related papers.
