Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sir Isaac Brock Isaac Brock was born on the little island of Guernsey, in the year 1769, the year in which the great Napoleon and the equally great Wellington were born. The Brock family was an old one, being able to trace its descent from the days of William the Conqueror. It had produced many military and naval heroes, and stories of their daring deeds no doubt thrilled young Isaac Brock, who as a child looked forward to entering the English army. The lads of Guernsey were hardy and daring, and Brock was one of the sturdiest of them. He was a famous boy boxer and was the best swimmer among the lads of his time. He loved reading and delighted in books dealing with great battles and great soldiers. Brock began his military career at a very early age. When he was sixteen he joined the 8th, the King´s Regiment, as an ensign. For three years he was quartered in different parts of England.
