Major-General Isaac Brock with 40 men of his majesty's 41st Regiment and 260 of the York, Lincoln, Oxford and Norfolk Militia, set out from Port Dover on 8 August 1812, to relieve the invaded western frontier. His brilliant capture of Hull's army at Detroit with a much smaller force saved this province to the empire and made Brock the hero of Upper Canada. Brock was killed on 13 October 1812 in the Battle of Queenston Heights.
This stone was placed by his royal highness Albert Edward Prince of Wales on 1 September 1860.
