The troubles that spread through the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada in 1837-39 are a neglected chapter in British military history,although no less than twenty-one regiments of the Line were involved from the Regular Army,in addition to two cavalry regiments and two battalions of the Guards.The author has been fortunate in having access to important and hitherto unpublished collections of family papers which vividly illumine the campaign as seen through the eyes of British soldiers coping with its unfamiliar demands.
Michael Mann,who is Dean of Windsor (then 1986),was a career soldier before his ordination.He is a Trustee of the Imperial War Museum and of the Army Museums Ogilby Trust.His most recent book (again,then 1986) was 'And They Rode On',an account of the King's Dragoon Guards at the Battle of Waterloo.
