The Infantry Regiments of the British Army

The Creation of the Special Reserve and the Territorial Force in 1908/1910

There were no changes to the regular battaions.

In 1908 the Militia was transferred to the Special Reserve. There was to be one (Reserve) battalion per pair of regular battalions. This counts for 74 battalions. Of the surplus, 23 battalions were disbanded and 27 battalions were kept as (Extra Reserve) battalions.

At the creation of the Territorial Force (TF) in 1908 all the volunteer units (with the exception of the 7^th (Isle of Man) Volunteer Battalion, The King’s (Liverpool Regiment)) became numbered battalions of their regiment in the sequence after the regular and Special Reserve battalions. A few adjustments were made later (e.g. some TF only regiments were created) and the last column shows this and the few changes that occurred until 1910.

The notation ⁓ is short for the regimental title that forms the heading of a section.
