Manitoba never really had a militia, nor did it have the need for contingents of the British army to remain on a regular basis. For these reasons, not many military records exist. A few muster rolls, pay lists, and enlistment records for the period 1815–1877 are located at the National Archives of Canada. | Manitoba never really had a militia, nor did it have the need for contingents of the British army to remain on a regular basis.
