Show detail Hide detail

Sub-series consists of records relating to the Red River Rebellion military land warrants. Warrant numbers 0002-1594 entitling a free grant of 160 acres of land, issued by the Minister of Militia and Defence to officers and enlisted men of the First (Ontario) Battalion and Second (Quebec) Battalion of Rifles stationed in Manitoba are found in volumes 1608 to 1627. Often attached to these records are supporting documents. Also included in this sub-series are receipt numbers 1-914 for Military Bounty Land Warrants dating from 1873 to 1877 (RG15 Vol. 1628). Sub-series also includes an un-numbered file containing correspondence and departmental memoranda relating to undelivered land warrants issued to members of the militia who participated in the Red River Expedition, and to members of the North-West Mounted Police (RG15 vol. 3170). Please consult lower level descriptions.

This sub-series also contains aperture cards which consist of images of original registers. Each aperture card consists of a microfiche image held in a paper index card. In most cases each image is one page of the original register. The registers are also known as RG15 aperture card books 42 to 44. There are two copies of these aperture card books. The cards contain lists of Military Bounty Land Warrants numbers issued to the member of the Red River Expeditionary Force, 1870-1875. Some registers are organized alphabetically by the soldier's name, others by warrant number. These cards relate to warrants 1 to 1594.

Custodial history:

These aperture cards were created by a successor to the Department of the Interior sometime between 1948 and 1970. They were copied from original registers and ledgers and the originals were then destroyed. The aperture cards were then transferred to the National Archives in the early 1970s.

RG15 Aperture Card books were available in the LAC reference room until January 2023.
