The "Drummond's attack" section claims Drummond was probably killed in the first British assault on the parade ground.

But at least three *later* sections of the article describe Drummond doing things, including one that gives the specific date "16 September". I am amused but unpersuaded by the tales of these actions of the zombie Drummond. I am consequently going to remove the claim of Drummond's demise from the "Drummond's attack" section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tls (talk • contribs) 16:58, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please read the article *carefully* before doing so. There were two Drummonds involved. Lieutenant General (i.e. three-star General) Sir Gordon Drummond was the Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada, and commander in chief of the army there. Lieutenant Colonel William Drummond was either the General's nephew or cousin (sources disagree), Commanding Officer of the 104th Foot (the New Brunswick Fencibles). William Drummond was killed in the storming attempt on 16th September, 1814; Gordon Drummond died in England in 1840 or thereabouts. HLGallon (talk) 17:32, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

William Drummond had no relation to Gordon Drummond History Man1812 (talk) 15:14, 11 January 2021 (UTC)History_Man1812[reply]

I'm a bit confused in the timeline here. Both Siege of Fort Erie and Battle of Cook's Mill claim that they were "the last engagement between U.S. and British/Canadian armies fought on Canadian soil during the War of 1812." This article suggest that the Cook's Mill occured after the Siege but before Americans left Fort Erie. In this interpretation, Cook's Mill would be the last engagement. Can someone more knowledgeable research this and correct this somewhat confusing situation? Thanks. --qviri 01:47, 20 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I changed it. Looks ok to me now. --qviri 22:45, 10 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Right, though for clarification the last battle between British and American forces fought on Canadian soil was the Battle of Malcolm's Mills. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nacho wifi (talk • contribs) 06:18, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The photograph of the portrait of Gordon Drummond is reversed left to right. The Garter sash should be on his right shoulder, the Garter insignia on his left breast, and the sword should be hanging from his left hip.

There appears to be an apparent information gap in the summary of the Siege of Fort Erie article, which was actually brought about by a blocked sock user - some of which, however, ought to be added to the page. But I'm concerned the added information, which is factual, is upsetting some other users rather than the information actually being unhelpful. Hence the revisions.
