  Civilization.ca - VMNF - The soldiers - The Carignan-Salières Regiment, 1665-1671
The regiment counted twenty companies and each company was made up of three officers - a captain, a lieutenant and an ensign - two sergeants, three corporals, five anspessades and forty soldiers, including at least one drummer.
The Carignan-Salières Regiment was not totally disbanded, since 4 companies of 75 men each were maintained when the other soldiers of the regiment returned to France.
In 1671, however, the four companies were discharged, and the officers were urged to remain in Canada and to strongly encourage all their soldiers to work at clearing and cultivating the land.
