:lol:

I'm reading "Flames Across the Border" by Pierre Berton It's the second volume of his two part epic on the War of 1812. I re-read them every 5 years or so.

Just finished Panzeschlacht – Armoured Operations on the Hungarian Plains, September – November 1944 by Perry Moore (thanks Henry) Very good, though i`m not an expert on the Eastern Front during WW2 or the Hungarian Armies part in it. Some great photos, useful battle reports and maps :clap:

Have you read Donald Grave's work, Jameson? They're quite good.

Well the Niagara and Lake Ontario frontiers are my backyard so Graves works more for me LOL.

Ah, literal vs figurative....you win. :shock:

Read plenty of Burton in high school though. :)

Well, I only live about a three hour drive from the Falls. Next summer I plan on visiting every Canadian War of 1812 battlefield. If I do, I'll take lots of pictures for you.

Cool! Don't miss Fort Niagara, its ace.

I almost did once. My mates and I were in Buffalo, but they wanted to go shopping instead. Sigh.... However, Fort George was quite impressive. Also, being on the same spot where Brock fell was almost....spiritual?

I like Fort Niagara better as it has more history but I know what you mean. Haven't been to Fort Mississauga though and its an odd little one is that. Theres lots of stuff thats in landscape thats dead easy to miss as well. Between Hamilton and Burlington, theres a cemetary which has an 1812 redoubt converted into a mosoleum. Overlooks Burlington Bay. tres cool!

A new purchase. Dr Childs "the army of Charles II" A very dry academic writing style but lots of interesting facts and figures.

Just started reading 'Forgotten Wars: The End of Britain's Asian Empire' by Bayly and Harper. Totally epic and totally absorbing.
