The Battle of the Thames-- Part 12: Proctor's Force
** Proctor had only a single brass 6-pdr. field piece cannon.
** Lt. Col. Augustus Washburton commanded the British regulars and had been a captain in the elite 60th Foot, known as the Royal American Regiment prior to the Revolutionary War.
** Proctor also had 20 Canadian Light Dragoons under Captain Thomas Colemen who served primarily as couriers during the campaign and battle.
** There were a dozen men from the 10th Foot and some provincial dragoons.
