The Loyalist muster rolls included in this series are true copies certified by Adjutant General R. Heber Breintnall on November 1, 1906.

The rolls include officers as well as rank-and-file soldiers, and provide details of the location of those soldiers who were detached to other regiments. The muster rolls are listed below in two sorts, first by page number and second, chronologically.
