Dear Bernard

This article on the Capture of Fort Niagra 1813 might be of interest to you. They took out their flints and just used their Bayonets . I do hope one day you do at least 1 battle on the War of 1812. It was very fascinating War. This action was after the US burning of Newark and was to set the stage for British retaliation against Buffalo across the river https://www.loc.gov/item/today-in-history/december-19/#:~:text=to%20this%20page-,Old%20Fort%20Niagara%20Captured,opposite%20shore%20in%20New%20York.
