From the October 13, 2022, BBC News.
A thirteen gun salute was fired from Castle Cornet in Guernsey for General Isaac Brock who died in 1812 while leading a Britishh, Cabadian and First Nation army to victory over an invading American army.
The Guernsey-born British Army general became known as "The Saviour of Upper Canada."
The commemorations mark the 210th anniversary of his death.
Oliver Brock, a first cousin six times removed of General Brock, said his family had been looking forward to the event. He said: "The commemorations today are a part of what we can do to show our respect the man that a lot of people of Canada feel started their nationhood."
The Brock in my signoff refers to Gen. Isaac Brock.
