Battle of Lundy's Lane - Legacy

Legacy

• James Miller's response, "I'll try, Sir", to Brown's order to capture the British guns is now the motto of the 5th U.S. Infantry, into which the 21st were merged in 1815 when Congress reduced the United States Army to a smaller peacetime establishment.
• Ten active regular infantry battalions of the United States Army (1-2 Inf, 2-2 Inf, 1-3 Inf, 2-3 Inf, 4-3 Inf, 1-5 Inf, 2-5 Inf, 1-6 Inf, 2-6 Inf and 4-6 Inf) perpetuate the lineages of a number of American infantry units (the old 1st, 9th, 19th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd and 25th Infantry Regiments) that took part in the battle.
• As the result of a decision taken in 2012, four Ontario-based regiments of the Canadian Army perpetuate the history and heritage of the Battalion of Incorporated Militia and thus will carry the NIAGARA battle honour earned by that battalion. These regiments are: The Lincoln and Welland Regiment, the Queen's York Rangers, the Brockville Rifles and the Princess of Wales' Own Regiment. http://pm.gc.ca/eng/media.asp?category=1&featureId=6&pageId=26&id=4823
• In 1908, Canadian poet Duncan Campbell Scott wrote a poem, "The Battle of Lundy's Lane," which won a contest sponsored by the Toronto Globe. The poem was reprinted in his 1916 collection, Lundy's Lane and Other Poems.
• Lundy's Lane is mentioned in the unofficial Canadian patriotic anthem, "The Maple Leaf Forever" :

At Queenston Heights and Lundy's Lane our brave fathers, side by side

for freedom, homes, and loved ones dear, firmly stood and nobly died.

And those dear rights which they maintained, we swear to yield them never.

Our watchword evermore shall be, the Maple Leaf forever!

• In the 2002 film Gangs of New York, the character of Bill "the Butcher" Cutting, played by Daniel Day Lewis, mentions that his father died "for his country" on the "25th of July Anno Domini 1814". Given the context of the film, it is likely he was referring to the Battle of Lundy's Lane.
