I am currently aware of one battle in the NA War of 1812 where the British lay down, I believe it is refered to as the Battle of Maguaga, in his description of it Major John Richardson in his book: Richardson's War of 1812 says the following:<br />"following the example of the Indians, we lay reclined on the ground,in order to avoid being perceived until within a few yards of the enemy."<br />While I have seen no further occurrence of this behavior in the War of 1812, I am curious if anyone else has encountered it.Ironcladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512751811975988846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5744170830107487392.post-46160052480120788922018-09-04T15:03:32.509-04:002018-09-04T15:03:32.509-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13077194525794293657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5744170830107487392.post-15915346086340172332017-07-12T09:02:58.492-04:002017-07-12T09:02:58.492-04:00Very interesting article.
