This regiment received enormous bounty. Men are scattered through it whose names are not known, and who were undoubtedly gathered from all over the Canadas to fill the quota. They went to the field as the war was ended, and were mustered out in August, 1865.

It is believed that the bounties paid the men of this command abundantly rewarded their short service, and that they earned so much money for such short service that they are not entitled to the additional reward of fame.
