War of 1812: Brock Thought American Attack on Upper Canada Inevitable

From the March 3rd Toronto (Can) Star.

British General Sir Isaac Brock oversaw military matters in Upper Canada and would much had rather returned to England and be with the British Army fighting in Spain but followed orders and remained in Canada.

As early as Feb. 1812, he was warning of an approaching war with the United States and was looking to bolster his forces.

Upper Canada refers to the part of Canada farther from the mouth of the St. Lawrence River.
