FORMATION OF THE REGIMENT. 
 
 In the year 1856 several Volunteer Kille Companies 
 were raised in Toronto, which, while rei;ularly drilled, 
 were separate, distinct and independent organizations, 
 under the control of the Inspecting Field Officer of 
 the Province, until the beginning of i860, when the 
 late Colonel Cieo. T. Denison, the senior militia 
 officer of the district, proposed to the (lovernment 
 the formation of a battalion from the several city com- 
 panies. To this they at once assented. A meeting of 
 the officers was called, including those of the Jiarrie 
 and Brampton Companies, as there were at the time 
 only four efficient companies in the city, and six were 
 necessary for a battalion ; and, on submitting the jjro- 
 ject, the feeling was found to be so unanimous in its 
 favor that on the 26th of April, i860, the following 
 companies were gazetted as the 2nd Battalion Volun 
 teer Militia Rifles of Canada :

The l')ranipt()n Company, though originally intended 
 as part of the Battalion, was for some reason ex- 
 changed for the Whitby Company. 
 
 The Field Officers and Staff appointed were : 
 
 Lieut. -Colonel,.. Captain and Hrevet Lieut.-Col. Duric.froin No. i Co.

 Surgeon Jas.Tliorbnrn, M.D.,from late 4th Rifle Co., Toronto. 
 
 Asst.-Surgeon... Frank Bull, M. D. 
 
 In the latter part of 1861 and beginning of 1862, 
 other independent companies were organized in the 
 city, some of which were immediately added to the 
 strength of the battalion, viz. : Capt. Latham's Com- 
 pany, as No. 7 ; Capt. Murray's " 2nd Merchant's," as 
 No. 8 Company; and "Trinity College" Company, as 
 No. 9 ; whilst others did not join until the 21st Nov., 
 1862, when the corps was increased to a strength of 
 ten companies, the l^arrie and Whitby companies 
 again becoming independent, and Captain Latham s 
 Company being transferred to the " loth Royals," of 
 Toronto. The Regiment was then made up of the 
 following companies, as by the Gazette of the above

On i8th March, 1863, permission was ^nven to adopt 
 the title of "The Queen's Own Kitles, of Toronto," 
 which, on 13th January, 1882, was amended l^y the 
 substitution of the words " ot Canada " for " of 
 Toronto." 
 
 The Rej^imental badL»e and belt ornaments '.vere also 
 adopted in March, 1863, and worn without change 
 until 6th October, 1875, when a black enamelled cross 
 for Officers and a scarlet one for Serjeants was substi- 
 tuted on the latter for silver and bronze respectively. 
 
 On the 7th Feb., 1879, the badge and ornaments 
 were gazetted as special to the Regiment. 
 
 The Regiment was one of the first to re-enrol under 
 the Militia Act of 1868, all the companies save No. 10 
 or "Highland" Company signing the new service 
 rolls, thus leaving only nine companies in the corps. 
 
 In April, 1872, the original designation of many of 
 the companies, which had been more or less used 
 since their formation, was abolished by regimental 
 order, and the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I and 
 K were substituted for the numbers. 
 
 A second company from the University was formed 
 and gazetted on 22nd March, 1872, to replace the 
 Highland or No. 10 Company under the letter K, but, 
 becoming disorganized in December, 1876, the original 
 company from that institution took the letter, and a 
 company composed of the students of the Toronto 
 School of Medicine was enrolled in 1877 as " I " Co., 
 \\\^ personnel oi which, however, was again changed 
 in March, 1880, to men entirely from the city. In 
 February, 1893, the headquarters of "K" Company 
 were transferred from University College to the Drill 
 Shed.
