"Operating in darkness and in foul weather, this diversionary attack failed. On the morning of September 14, an oversized American flag, which had been hastily sewn in hopes of this event, still flew over Fort McHenry, and Cochrane and Brooke knew that victory had eluded them."

May be inaccurate, just watching the History Channel's War of 1812 program. The storm flag flew overnight and after the retreat of the British fleet was the oversized flag flown.

[edit] Bug

Anyway, this page has a rendering problem; in the classic skin that I use the "edit" links for the first two parts are misplaced and come out next to the little box below the regular taxobox -- superimposed on text. Bug? ;Bear 05:29, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, if the problem is what i think it is, it is a bug. I had a similar issue with a templat that i developed. You might want to leave a not on the talkp page on for the template, if you have not arleady , Template:Infobox Military Conflict (talk, links, edit) and let them know. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 07:39, 28 March 2006 (UTC)m alec is gay

[edit] Reverted Vandalism by anon IP

Someone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:65.189.228.131) made a claim in the Casualties that the British suffered over 2,000 casualties and the Americans less than 20. Rubbish! I have reverted this edit (Trip Johnson (talk) 22:24, 12 April 2008 (UTC))
