Heroes, Skulkers or Rogues?
The Canadian Soldier in the War of 1812

 

The 41st Regiment of Foot Military Living History Group was thrilled to present the fourth installment of the 41st Regiment Lecture Series!

This talk was a presentation on the role of the Canadian soldiers in the War of 1812, particularly as the conflict raged in Upper Canada. Our speaker was Jim Hill, historian and Superintendent of Heritage for the Niagara Parks Commission.

Sites such as the Laura Secord Homestead, the Chippawa Battlefield and Old Fort Erie fall under Mr. Hill’s supervision. Prior to this position, he managed Old Fort Erie for 10 years.
