Where were the Royal York Rangers raised?

Were the Royal York Rangers raised in Yorkshire, Upper Canada, or the West Indies?

The live correction identifies them as a West Indies unit raised from local inhabitants, although some officers had Yorkshire connections.

A viewer asks whether the Royal York Rangers came from Yorkshire, Upper Canada, or another colonial setting. The initial answer associates them with Yorkshire because officers in the campaign account had Yorkshire connections. A viewer then checks a regimental source and reports that the unit was raised in the West Indies from local inhabitants. The correction separates the origins of the rank and file from the backgrounds of some officers. Unit titles and officer identities can therefore mislead when reconstructing colonial manpower.
