Excerpt from London and Middlesex Historical Society: Transactions, 1911-12 The following narrative of the fight at Battle Hill, or rather of Longwood (which is the name set forth in nearly all the early records) is written with a three-fold object. In the first place, I was anxious, from a personal standpoint, to become familiar with its details; secondly, it occurred to me that this piece of local history should be rescued from the oblivion into which it had apparently fallen; and thirdly, this account is given to the public at the instance of the Middlesex Historical Society, through my friend, Mr. Frank E. Leonard, of London, Ontario, one of its officers, who communicated with me to the above effect, while I was residing and practicing at Comber, Ontario, and the good work of which society, I fear, is not being sufficiently appreciated by the county generally. No doubt it will be conceded on all hands that the details of this, the only fight that took place within the limits of the present county of Middlesex during the war of 1812-14, should by all means be kept in remembrance from the fact that, unlike such counties as Lincoln, Welland, Essex, Kent and some others, its historic ground is very considerably circumscribed.
