A Soldier's Life in 1661

Strength Through Unity! Alas yes; They are the ties that do Truly Bind. Faith & Trust are the cornerstone of every Military Unit. They unite all members together in the spirit of Esprit de Corps. By Decree of the Governor of Kebec, every Soldier who faithfully serves a minimum of 5 years shall be rewarded with a 5 acre parcel of land as a retirement. Every Additional 5 Year Tenure doubles the Retirement Reward.

To be Entitled to Receive the Soldier's Retirement, a retired Soldier may simply register with the Local Magistrate along with His Regimental Number. The Magistrate will record the Soldier's Retirement along with any details for the prosperity of the entire Colony.

Within Kebec, Deserters are ineligible. The Governor has thusly spoken, therefore it shall be henceforth.
