Some stamps are from Guernsey.
This is one set of them:
The War of 1812 (issued 16-03-2012)
(It is a joint issue with Canada)
The War of 1812 between the United States of America and Great Britain took place in 1812 and 1815.
One stamp shows Major-General Sir Isaac Brock. He was born on Guernsey as the son of a relatively wealthy family and was posted to Canada in 1802. He won together with War Chief Tecumseh a decisive and bloodless victory in Detroit. He was shot shortly after, while defending Queenston.
The other stamp shows Tecumseh.
