Here, at the south end of the Liberty Grand building at Exhibition Place, is an Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada plaque commemorating those who fell during a battle to defend Toronto in 1813. It reads as follows:

Pro Patria. In memory of Captain Neal McNeal, Volunteer Donald Maclean, and the soldiers of the Royal Artillery, 8th Regiment, Royal Newfoundland Regiment, Glengarry Light Infantry, York and Durham Militia, and Indians, killed in action, and their comrades who fought here, facing fearful odds, in defence of the Capital of Upper Canada, 27th April, 1813.
