The Incorporated Militia Battalion was formed from volunteers from the militia in 1813. Originally scattered in several garrisons, the battalion concentrated at York, before seeing action on the Niagara peninsula. The uniform of red coats had green facings, although uniforms were issued erratically and not all the companies would have had an official, recognized uniform. The entire unit fought at the Battle of Lundy's Lane where its commander, Lieutenant Colonel William Robison (a captain in the 8th (King's) Regiment at the start of the war) was seriously wounded.
