WAR OF 1812 SERVICE
Of course, they were militia back then.
More than 14,000 Pennsylvanians were drawn into active service during the War of 1812.
During the Battle of Lake Erie, an artillery company provided volunteers to serve as cannoneers on Commodore Perry's fleet.
That unit today is known as Wilkes-Barre's 109th Field Artillery.
