Hi BWEF, probably nothing different than the Canadians. They were considered for all intent and purposes, Canadians. The only difference that I read about US citizens enlisting, was that they didn't swear the Oath of Allegiance to the king, this was reserved to Canadian citizens only. Also, many,were transferred back to the US Army after 7 Dec.'41, the same thing happened to those serving in the RCAF.
Jo Here's something on the RCAF Yanks. http://www.lancastermuseum.ca/americansrcaf.html An even better one. http://www.legionmagazine.com/en/ind...canadas-yanks/

American vols,Essex Scottish
Certainly easy enough to do, City of Windsor(Essex County) in Ontario just across the river from City of Detroit. I served in the US Army during the "cold war" with a guy in my outfit from Quebec and one from Sask. They had to be taught to eat "SOS" for breakfast. "bgpipes"
 (for those who do not know what "SOS" is, "S_ _ _ on a shingle") chipped beef or hamburger and gravy on toast,well slathered with pepper and Louisiana hot sauce, a meal meant for real men!hehehe!
