' The Queen's Bangers, subsequently so widely known, had been raised in Connet-ticut and the vicinity of New York, for the duties which their name implied ; and, at the time of which we write, they were commanded by Lieutenant-colonel Hubert Rogers, who had so much distinguished himself as a partisan, on the frontiei*s, during the War with France. They were "all Americans, and all Loyalists." -- (Shucoe's Journal of the Operaliiim of the Qwm''s litnigers, 18.)

These Rangers were said, by the biographer of their distinguished Commandant, of a later period, to have been "disciplined, not for parade, but " for active service. They were never to march in slow time ; were directed "to fire with precision and steadiness; to wield the bayonet with force "and effect; to disperse and rally with rapidity. In short, in the in- " structions for the management of the Corps, its conmiander seems to " have anticipated the more modern tactics of the French Armj*." -- i^Memoir of Lieutenant coloiwl Sinicoe, -- Simcoe's Journal of the Operations of the Queen's Bangers, viii.)
