to Canada, Sir George Prévost suggested converting all his Select Embodied Militia to boatmen and voyageurs. This plan met with disapproval from every Canadian officer. The Corps of Canadian Voyageurs are perpetuated in the Canadian Army by the Canadian Grenadier Guards. Corps of Provincial Royal Artillery Drivers Volunteers who served as drivers for units of the Royal Artillery. Its personnel may also have been paid for providing their own draught animals. Dorchester Provincial Light Dragoons A volunteer horsed unit perpetuated in the modern Canadian Army by Le Régiment de la Chaudière. Frontier Light Infantry A small unit, two companies strong, which were listed as the ninth and tenth companies of the Voltigeurs, but which were administered separately. Most of its men were English-speaking volunteers from the Eastern townships, unlike the French-speaking main body of the Voltigeurs. They operated alongside a group of Mohawk warriors at Lacolle, engaging in running firefights with the Americans during the latter's advance to the mill. The history and heritage of the Frontier Light Infantry is perpetuated within the Canadian Army by the Sherbrooke Hussars. Quebec Volunteers A small (50 men) volunteer unit, which may have been merged into the 6th Select Embodied Militia battalion. Select Embodied Militia Formed partly from volunteers, and partly from conscripted men chosen by lot, who served for one year only. (Late in the war, there was some trouble when Prévost refused to exempt men who had already served for a year from the ballot.) Four battalions were initially formed early in 1812, followed by a fifth after war was declared, and a sixth in 1813. The seventh and eighth battalions of Sedentary Embodied Militia were formed in Montreal in late 1813 when an American attack was threatened, but were disbanded as soon as the crisis was over. When the Select Embodied Militia units were first formed, they were forced by a shortage of official pattern uniforms to adopt a variety of dress. Some elements of the 1st battalion served in the skirmish at Lacolle Mills in November 1812. By late 1813 at the latest, all battalions had been issued red uniforms. The flank companies of the first to fourth battalions were detached to form (with detached light companies of British regular battalions) two ad hoc light infantry battalions during much of 1813. Part at least of the 1st Light Battalion under Lieutenant-Colonel George MacDonnell, which included the light company of
