Unfortunately not, he died when I was really young. I’ve only heard and learned just from what I’ve heard from my dad and the journal.
My Grandpa told my dad he didn’t like how the British officiers in charge kept putting either Americans or Canadians at the front. At one point he said there was a situation of a British commander telling subordinates to shoot at retreating Americans and Canadians who were refusing on of those “death trap” type orders by the Brits. I believe the orders were refused thankfully.
My Dad tried to verify the events but ended up coming empty minus for one historical employee from the Museum in Michigan who heard something similar once, my dad said my Grandpa was never one to lie and never spoke much else about his time served.
