It is the intention of the officers to enlist the entire personnel from York County, the recruiting has already started, and it is expected that withi= two weeks the regiment will be up to strength. The Yorks had companies in nine villages of York Countyâ€"then much larger than toâ€"day. Four companies were called out in the Northâ€"West Rebellion of 1885, and with four companies of the Simcoe Foresters, formed a battalion known as the Yorkâ€"Simcoes.

The Queen‘s York Rangers carry also the title 1st American Regiment, apd they are ranked in seniority 12th among the militia regiments of Canada.
