This post takes the volunteer list for April 1862 and compares it to the OOB produced by TFSmith. Units whose existence he failed to acknowledge are denoted with square brackets. Where the number of batteries or companies is greater than the figure given by TFSmith, the figure in square brackets is the total number of sub-units that existed historically and not the number which have been missed. All references to military districts are those which existed historically. A summary of the results has been provided above the cut, and if that's sufficient for you you can always move straight onto part 3.
Missing units:
14/34 cavalry troops (6/14 Lower Canada, 8/20 Upper Canada)
2/8 field batteries (1/3 Lower Canada, 1/5 Upper Canada)
10/19 foot/garrison batteries (3/12 Lower Canada, 7/7 Upper Canada)
4/5 engineer companies (1/2 Lower Canada, 3/3 Upper Canada)
6/7 naval/marine companies (6/7 Upper Canada)
146/186 rifle companies (72/105 Lower Canada, 74/81 Upper Canada)
182/259 = 70.3% of the formations present in April 1862 are missing
