War Of 1812 Trek Celebrated In Dozens Of Communities
Cars honked, dogs barked and people waved as soldiers from local militia units in Ontario and Quebec carried a replica of a 200-year-old flag along the roadside.
It was all part of a commemoration of the gruelling 1,100-kilometre trek from Fredericton to Kingston, Ont., undertaken by the 104th Regiment of Foot in the midst of winter 200 years ago during the War of 1812.
