Sir Isaac Brock Sir Isaac Brock was military commander and administrator of Upper Canada (born at St Peter Port, Guernsey 6 Oct 1769; died at Queenston Heights, UC 13 Oct 1812). He arrived in Canada in 1802 with his regiment, the 49th Foot. He was promoted to majorgeneral in 1811 and in the absence of Francis Gore was made provisional administrator of Upper Canada. At the outset of the War Of 1812, Brock's bold initiatives in ordering the capture of Michilimackinac and in leading attacks on Amherstberg and Detroit raised the confidence of the militia. He was killed by a sharpshooter when leading troops against an American battery on Queenston Heights.
