 Although the unit was not listed separately in official reports, it may nevertheless have been engaged in action as smaller units were often combined under one heading.On 16 June 1813, three members of the Coloured Corps are listed as casualties in an action on that day (probably at Sugar Loaf near present day Port Colborne) when Buffalo surgeon-turned-raider Major Cyrenius Chapin led his force of irregular New York Mounted Militia on a raid to interfere with British lines.The three are again listed as having deserted but given the improvement in British fortunes since the debacle at Fort George, this seems even less likely and it is more probable that the captured men were taken back into a captive life.
