Answer 2

No. The British forces that burned the White House and several key buildings in the young nation's capital were all British Army regulars that set sail from the Royal Navy's North America and West Indies Station in Bermuda on 14 August 1814.

There were no Canadian militia or units based in Canada that were part of the British force that fought in this campaign or at the Battle of Bladensburg.

The British forces consisted of approximately 4,500 regulars, comprised of the Royal Marines, and veteran British Army soldiers under Major General Robert Ross:

• 1st Battalion, 4th (King's Own) Regiment of Foot
• 21st Regiment (Royal North British Fusiliers)
• 1st Battalion, 44th (East Essex) Regiment of Foot
• 85th Regiment of Foot (Bucks Volunteers)(Light Infantry)
• 1350 Royal Marines
  • 2nd Battalion, commanded by Major James Malcolm (Royal Marines officer)
  • Companies of Colonial Marines from 3rd Battalion, commanded by Major Lewis
  • composite battalion (formed from ship-based Marines) commanded by Captain John Robyns

On 24 August 1814, the British force burned down the White House, the U.S. Capitol, and several government buildings in Washington, D.C., in retaliation for the American forces burning down the Legislative Buildings, in York (what is now Toronto), the second capital of Upper Canada and other civilian locations in what is now Ontario Province between 28 April 1813 and 30 April 1813.
