The six-foot-square colour survived a 1,100-kilometre trek
during the winter of 1813 from Fredericton to Kingston to help defend Canada
from American invaders and several battles during the two-year war. The
restoration of this flag is expected to cost thousands of dollars. http://1812waroshawa.com/
