By Robert Malcomson. The famous War of 1812 battle in which American forces invaded Canada across the Niagara River and General Isaac Brock was killed. The book explores the multiple roles of a reserve regiment in peace and war and how these have remained constant over the years despite changes in society and in warfare. Reserve (or militia) regiments have been the foundation of the Canadian military and its ability to mobilize for war and civil emergencies. Reservists train to the combat-ready status of the full-time soldier, and their involvement creates a strong link between their regiment and the community.
