Military General Service 1793-1814, 1 clasp, Chateauguay (A Doyer, Canadn. Militia), fitted with silver riband buckle, edge bruising and a little polished, better than good fine, a rare casualty

Augustin Doyer is confirmed on the roll as a Private in the 1st Battalion, Select Embodied Militia of Lower Canada for the action at Chateauguay. Papers show a request for arrears of pension from 1833 which was submitted in March 1868. The reviewers of the claim agreed he was a militia man who had been wounded in the war against the United States. A later letter in the pack states he was wounded on the right side of the head at Chateauguay by a ball from a firearm.

Casualties totalled 2 killed, 16 wounded and 4 missing at Chateauguay.
