'Alfred'

Early in the morning of October 13, 1812, after galloping seven miles from Fort George, General Brock tethered his gray horse Alfred in the village of Queenston so he could lead a charge on foot against the invading enemy, and he was killed leading the attack. Colonel Macdonell then took command until General Sheafe arrived from Fort George with reinforcements. Macdonell rode Alfred to lead another charge, but he was mortally wounded and Alfred was killed in the fighting, part of the price of saving Canada on that fateful day.
