Lt-Col. John Macdonell
Battle of Queenston Heights
The battle in popular culture
In his 1984 album From Fresh Water, the late Canadian folk singer Stan Rogers immortalised one of Brock's aides-de-camp, John Macdonell, in the song MacDonnell on the Heights. He laments that despite Macdonell's courage, "not one in ten thousand knows your name".
