For the benefit of accurate history, Gwyn Dyer (a Canadian Historian) 
rightly pointed out that it was in fact not *really* the Canadians 
the burnt down the whitehouse. It had far more to do with the British 
Regular Army units than with any particular Canadian contribution. 
Our irregular forces just can't be considered to have been 
responsible, with any sort of an objective eye.

The Duke of Nashville? Now that is rather humorous. 
 
Interesting outlook. Probably somewhat akin to what would actually be 
assembled from the polyglot of forces available.
