Summary
[edit]DescriptionStoney Creek Battlefield Monument, Stoney Creek, Ontario (2480286437).jpg |
The Battle of Stoney Creek was fought on 6 June 1813 during the War of 1812 near present day Stoney Creek, Ontario. British units made a night attack on an American encampment. Due in large part to the capture of the two senior officers of the American force, and an overestimation of British strength by the Americans, the battle was a victory for the British, and a turning point in the defence of Upper Canada. The site of the battle is a National Historic Site. A stone tower, dedicated exactly 100 years after the battle by Queen Mary, commemorates the British soldiers who died at this location. The Gage farm house is also preserved and serves as a museum. The battle is re-enacted annually on the weekend closest to 6 June. "More dearly than their lives they held those principles and traditions of British Liberty of which Canada is the inheritor." - inscription on the Stoney Creek Battlefield Monument. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_stoney_creek en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_... |
