pardus Try this one. Below the vid player, there's a choice to watch the preview or full episode. Stupid public broadcasters and shitty streaming service.

Thanks mate.

The Legion Magazine posted a few articles on the War of 1812; a good read, IMO. Please view this link and then search for War of 1812 for more info. I learned alot. My fav line of this war is from Thomas Jefferson: (I paraphrase) capturing Canada is simply a matter of marching.
