Assuming I wouldn't die at the age of three from the flu or small pox, I'd probably be an artillerist in the Upper Canada militia, and sink some defensely American boats at Queenston Heights like a coward true Canadian hero, then at the Battle of York I'd probably die when the western battery's powder train exploded, and Americans would feast on my crispy flesh.

Sounds like a true story of Canadian Heroism.

Going by my ancestry...

I'd be fighting for the Duchy of Warsaw, the Kingdom Bavaria, or the United Kingdom.

Already explained what exactly I'd be a couple pages back.

I would be a infantry private in a Illinois Regiment during the civil war. May rise to Corporal :P but doubt seeing myself as a higher NCO or Officer. I would be probably  become a infantryman til I die which likely going to happen to me in the war.

With family hailing from Rutland and Silesia respectively, but no personal affiliation with horses, I would have either been a member of the Rutlanshire regiment of foot, or a part of the Polish Legion. Going by my general mediocrity I would have been a line infantryman.
If it's Silesia, expect to be in the Freikorps and get slaughtered or the regular army where you flash bright yellow colors at the French. Most likely you would have been landwehr, notably that died in the Silesien IV corps at placonoit in a form of slaughter.

Well since I'm pretty tall and not the weakest I would probably have joined the Grenadiers of the line. Well what do you expect of someone who was born in " Kaiser Friedrichs Preußen " ? :P

German peasant descendants, average build, probably would have been some sort of landwehr unit I guess :P. I also have a knack for skirmish tactics, however I think I am much to tall to be a skirmisher. I am ok at leading, but only small units, if that. I believe I would could be some sort of low ranking NCO. But then again I love keeping track of things, LISTS OF THINGS. I love supplies, oh the joy. Maybe a quartermaster?

If it was personal choice i'd like to be one of those Guard Horse Chasseurs, they have a good sense of fashion. Preferably a trumpeteer so i got a white bearskin.

Being born in Surrey and moving to Lincolnshire at 7 I would probably be in a Lincoln regiment, If the same were to happen 200 years ago. I am of Irish decent (3/4) so that could affect something. I am tall and weedy but pretty smart (how do I say that whilst retaining my modesty?), and if it means anything I have a cousin who is Lieutenant-General in the Canadian army. My family is fairly well-off as we can afford to buy most things without too much financial struggle. If I add all of this stuff up I would be an NCO in some kind of skirmisher battalion or an officer in a line regiment. Perhaps of the 2nd Yorkshire west riding light inf (as Yorkshire borders Lincolnshire) or the 10th (North Lincoln) Regiment of Foot respectively.

I'm not really tall (1.70 meters) and have a shitty physical condition I'd probably be an Adjuntant or anything where I can stay behind an office. Maybe if lucky, an infantry man, but I think the clerk seems the best possibility.
