Canadian Volunteers
These were recent immigrants to Upper Canada from the US. The size of this unit was between 60 and 120 men. It was responsible for burning lots of properties on Canada. They fought in the 1814 Niagara Campaign.
Volunteer Regiments
There were around 5000 volunteers. These were irregulars; often probably as good as regulars. They were usually / often equipped by the US government but not always. This is how some may have looked in 1814. Others would have kept their militia uniforms.
