I've been updating some Wikipedia sites relating to this; Major Robert Duncanson was in command of Lorne's Regiment and was promoted Colonel in August due to his refusal to sign the terms of surrender (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Duncanson_(Army_officer).<br /><br />I've referenced your website in the article, hope that's ok.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3897297125231754296.post-2630739774652022202011-04-19T09:04:52.190+02:002011-04-19T09:04:52.190+02:00I haven't studied the portrayal in literature ...I haven't studied the portrayal in literature of surrenders (of fortresses and cities) without much of a fight in great detail.
