		However, Rottenburg played no conspicuous role in the battle at Plattsburgh, and perhaps for this reason in part he escaped the barrage of criticism that descended on Prevost for the failure of the expedition.
		Rottenburg’s effect on military thinking suggests that he was an officer of higher than average acuity with a concern for thorough training uncommon among British officers.
		Prevost, Rottenburg, and Major-General John Vincent* were all present with the forces in front of Fort George in August, but the war in the peninsula had reached a virtual stalemate.

	Gordon Drummond
		Rottenburg would remain in Canada as part of the war effort (later to serve under Prevost as second-in-command during the 1814 campaigns), but Drummond would become Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada.
		Late in 1813, Drummond was reassigned to Upper Canada to replace Swiss-born de Rottenburg, an unpopular officer who was considered over-cautious, nervous about any sort of engagement, and reluctant to send reinforcements to vital areas (ironically, criticisms that would be levelled after the war at Rottenburg's superior, Sir George Prevost).
		The arrival of the Duke of Wellington's veterans after the first defeat of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte allowed the British to launch an ultimately unsuccessful offensive into the United States, but it was Prevost, de Rottenburg, and some of Wellington's officers that would lead that attack.

		(De Rottenburg would bring the story back to its place of origin in 1813, in a way, when he took over command of the British forces, light and regular, in what is now Ontario during the War of 1812.)

	Reprinted from DIACONIA YEARBOOK 1996
		It is reflecting not only the experience and engagement of long years dealing with the question of the diaconate and the personal struggle for the vision of the future deacon, but also the concern about the development of the diaconate after having introduced it.
		Rodhain spoke up successfully in his department for an independent diaconate; men with a special inclination to catechetics and the service to the poor could belong to it; and become more engaged in the Church.
		A discussion in Munich makes it clear that the question of the renewal of the diaconate is alive and efforts should be strengthened with regard to the council.
