All unit strengths are as at November 14-16, except for the Canadian militia, which is for December 16.
The Fusiliers and Emigrants together apparently numbered 200, but there were also 92 recruits for the Emigrants within the city.
All Canadian militia companies except the 2eme had one captain, one captain-en-seconde, one lieutenant, and one or two ensigns; the enlisted men included 2 sergeants and 4 corporals, the balance being miliciens or privates. The 2eme Compagnie consisted entirely of volontaires and had a captain, a lieutenant, an ensign, one sergeant, one corporal, and 32 privates.
Hope that scratches the itch(es) sufficiently.
