=== Sylvabreau/Battle of the Petitcodiac === The [[Battle of Petitcodiac|Battle of the Petitcodiac]] was fought on September 2, 1755, during the British expulsion of the Acadians, after the capture of [[Fort Beauséjour]]. The Massachusetts-British force was soundly defeated by troops from [[Boishébert]], Acadian militia, and [[First Nations (Canada)|First Nations']] warriors. At the mouth of the Nacadie Creek (Hall's) settlements such as le Coude (The Bend), Sylvabreau and the surrounding hamlets were destroyed.<ref>{{cite web |title=Documents in Battle of the Petitcodiac |url=https://www.academia.edu/Papers/in/Battle_of_the_Petitcodiac|website=Academia.edu |access-date=June 29, 2016}}</ref> Even after these raids, Acadians returned to these villages and the numbers grew as the deportation from peninsular Nova Scotia continued, followed by the deportation from present-day [[Prince Edward Island]] and [[Cape Breton Island|Cape Breton]]. Victory for the British occurred three years later (1758) during the [[Petitcodiac River Campaign]] ([[:fr:La bataille du Cran]]) which resulted in the deportation of the Acadians that lived along the Petitcodiac River or had taken refuge there from earlier deportation operations.
