usually a senior military officer or a head of state. The first aide-de-camp is typically the foremost personal aide,
and was expected to take on any odd job his general might want done. He was an extension of the general's eyes, ears and voice.
He carried orders to subordinate units and observed their execution.

Captain John Norton or "The Snipe" was the son of a Cherokee father and a Scottish mother. Norton was a resourceful, intelligent war chief who participated in almost every major battle of the Niagara campaigns. After Tecumseh, he was the most successful British native leader of the war.

After receiving an education in Dunfermline, Norton enlisted in the British 65th Foot Regiment in 1784. He arrived in Lower Canada with the regiment in 1785, and was sent to Fort Niagara (Upper Canada) in 1787. Norton received his discharge in 1788, and worked in the fur trade from 1791-95 for John Askin, an American trader based in Fort Detroit, serving as both an interpreter and trader. He dealt with the First Nations south of the Great Lakes (Maumee, Wyandot, Shawnee). Following the victory of the American army over Maumee and their allies at the Battle of Fallen Timbers (20 Aug 1794), Norton returned to Canada.

Norton was retained by the Indian Department at Niagara as an interpreter, during which time he met Joseph Brant. Impressed by Norton's skill as an interpreter and negotiator, Brant convinced Norton to join the Grand River Mohawk. Norton resigned from the Indian Department. Brant adopted Norton as his nephew and granted him the title of Peace Chief, assigning him the task of negotiating land settlements with the British government. Norton was aided by Brant's son John, but they were unable to reach an agreement favourable to the Grand River Mohawk. During these negotiations, John Norton was approached by the British and Foreign Bible Society to translate the Gospel of St. John into the Mohawk language; when published in 1806, it was the first translation of the gospel in a First Nations' language.

With the outbreak of the WAR OF 1812 between Britain and the United States, Norton was given the rank of captain in the British army. He recruited Grand River Mohawk and others and led them at the BATTLE OF QUEENSTON HEIGHTS (13 October 1812). After the death of Sir Isaac Brock early in the battle, Norton led the Mohawk in the attack on the American troops. The action proved decisive, for it gave General Sheaffe time to prepare a successful counter attack and crush the American force.

The following year, Norton and his warriors covered the retreat of the British forces to Burlington Heights after the Americans had taken Fort Niagara. The American advance was halted at the BATTLE OF STONEY CREEK (6 June 1813), where Norton's Mohawk provided scouts prior to a successful night attack by Brigadier John Vincent and the 49th Regiment. Days later, the British completed the rout of the Americans at the BATTLE OF BEAVER DAMS (24 June 1813) with the aid of Grand River and Kahnawake Mohawk warriors.

After the war, Norton and his wife, a Lenape (Delaware) woman called Karighwaycagh, travelled to England where Norton received the brevet rank of major in the British army. They returned to Grand River in 1816. In 1823, Norton was found guilty of manslaughter after a duel involving his wife's suspected infidelity and after that he essentially disappeared from the historic record. The last known correspondence from him was in 1826. Unconfirmed reports indicate that Norton died in northern Mexico sometime in October 1831.

Stewart was a native of Scotland who fought and was wounded at the Battle of Great Meadows in July, 1754. He was promoted to captain
in the Virginia forces on November 1st, 1754. Stewart commanded the troop of Virginia light horse on Braddock's expedition.
His unit served as escort for General Braddock and fought at the Battle on The Monongahela.
During the Battle he had two horses shot out from under him and his sword and scabbard were shot away.

creased his brow and another his forehead.

Red Jacket (known as Otetiani in his youth and Sagoyewatha after 1780) (c. 1750&endash;January 20, 1830)
was a Native American Seneca orator and chief of the Wolf clan.
Red Jacket was one of the leaders of the native force that served with Porter's Third Brigade during the campaign of 1814. At Chippewa,
the native warriors of both sides fought a violent battle in which no quarter was asked and none was given.
Red Jacket took this name, from a highly embroidered coat given to him by the British for his wartime services.
The Senecas took the British side during the American Revolution, a costly mistake, since their ally ultimately lost.
In the War of 1812, Red Jacket supported the American side.
Red Jacket became famous as an orator, speaking for the rights of his people. He played a prominent role in negotiations with the new federal government.
In 1792 he was heading a delegation of 50 people to Philadelphia where president George Washington presented him with a special "peace medal",
a large oval silver plate showing an image of Washington on the right hand side shaking his hand engraved upon it, below the inscription
"George Washington", "Red Jacket", and "1792". Red Jacket wore this medal on his chest in every portrait painted of him.
(The medal survives today in the collection of the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society.)

A military chaplain is a chaplain who ministers to soldiers, and other members of the military. In many countries,
chaplains also minister to the family members of military personnel, to civilian noncombatants working for military organizations and to
civilians within the military organization's area of operations.
Although the term chaplain originally had Christian roots, it is generally used today in military organizations to describe
all professionals specially trained to serve any spiritual need, regardless of religious affiliation.
Often, in addition to offering pastoral care to individuals, and supporting their religious rights and needs,
military chaplains also advise senior officers on issues of religion, ethics, troop morale and morals.

The first English military-oriented chaplains were priests on-board proto-naval vessels during the eighth century A.D.
Land based chaplains appeared during the reign of King Edward I, although their duties included jobs that today would come under the
jurisdiction of military engineers and medical officers.

Philip Hughes was officially listed as the Chaplain for the 44th Regiment of foot, during the Braddock expedition.
Little is known about him, apart from
"In 1755, Philip Hughes earned some distinction amid the chaotic defeat of General Braddock's army on the Monongahela river,
rescuing the colours of the 44th Regiment despite being wounded in the battle."
