Joseph Willcocks was arrested three times for criminal libel and contempt. During the War of 1812, he fought against Isaac Brock's attempt to invoke martial law successfully, then helped Brock enlist Indians to help the British.
He fought with Brock at the Battle of Queenstown Heights where Brock was killed.
A year later, Willcocks decided the Americans were on the right side for going to war and started passing secrets to the U.S. Secretary of War about British troop movements.
Isaac Brock is part of the reason I sign off with Brock-Perry each blog entry.
