Military - Canada, BNA Genealogy & History More Canadian Resources | More Canadian Military Resources BOOK - The Glengarry Light Infantry, 1812-1816 : who were they and what did they do in the war? by Winston Johnston  The story of the Glengarry Light Infantry recounts the experiences of some 1400 men who served in the regiment from embodiment in 1812 until disbandment in 1816. These men were recruited in haste in what is now Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. During campaigns of 1813 and 1814, they played a prominent role in most of the engagements along the Upper Canada- United States border. The majority of Glengarrys served the regiment well, and received land grants, Upper (Ontario) and Lower (Quebec) Canada. At Least fifty-three Glengarrys died as a result of battle injuries, and another one hundred and forty succumed to disease. 
In 1997 Winston Johnston took early retirement from his position as a research scientist for Agriculture Canada to complete the study. This book results from the author's lifelong interest in the regiment.This work is the definitive history of this War-of-1812 British provincial regiment. Johnston skilfully draws on archival sources to reconstruct the organization of the regiment, their engagements, biographies (and known portraits) of each officer and enlistment/residential details of every one of the 1400 men of the rank and file. The ultimate work on the subject. 363 pages; 6" X 9"; lists of men; index; biblio; illus; pub. 2002; paperback; perfect-bound; ISBN 0-9730501-0-1
