Sub-series consists of papers relating to the militia service of Richard John Sumner Drinkwater and his father John Humphrey Sumner Drinkwater. In the early years, both served in the same units, making it difficult to distinguish which papers belonged to whom. Documents include commissions and certificates, correspondence, muster rolls, reports, pay and mess sheets, duty rosters, and various other documents. Units represented include the 1st Battalion Simcoe Militia, Militia Company No. 2 South Orillia, and 2nd Battalion 17th Regiment. Also found is a list of the Orillia contingent sent to participate in the campaign against the Northwest Rebellion of 1885.
