Part 4: the Territorial and Volunteer Battalions
Part 4: The Territorial and Volunteer Battalions By Lieutenant General J. P. Riley CB DSO PhD MA FRHistS 1. General Remarks. Before 1881, the various bodies of volunteers that had been raised during the Napoleonic Wars and that had persisted throughout the 19th Century as unpaid associations, were for the first time placed on an organised basis by the War Office. These bodies and their Colours are not recorded here since their affiliation was local, not regimental; details of these regiments and their Colours are in Geddes, Part III, page 212 et seq. Even so, they retained a distinct identity from the militia, for they represented a very different military tradition. Until the Great War, the Volunteers remained an object of suspicion from the regular army and the militia; in the Royal Welch Fusiliers their officers were refused permission to wear the Flash and were derided as “dog-shooters”. With the formation of the Territorial Force in 1908, the 1st (Volunteer) Battalion of the Royal Welch Fusiliers became the 4th (Denbighshire) Battalion (TF); the 2nd (Volunteer Battalion) became the 5th (Flintshire) Battalion (TF); and the 3rd (Volunteer) Battalion became the 6th (Caernarvonshire and Anglesey) Battalion (TF). The 5th (Volunteer) Battalion of the South Wales Borderers was transferred to the Royal Welch Fusiliers and became the 7th (Merioneth and Montgomery) Battalion (TF). As Volunteers, these battalions had carried no Colours, however once the TF had been formed, Colours were authorised once again the separate tradition denied them the battle honours earned by the regular battalions of the Regiment, which had been granted to the militia.

RIFLES BATTALION MANNING Historic Strength Data (1995 - 2011)
ARMY 2020 DATA - INFANTRY RESTRUCTURING Following the Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) in 2010 a wide ranging study into the future size and structure of the Army was initiated by the Chief of the General Staff (CGS). This study, known as Army 2020, took note of the anticipated requirements outlined in the SDSR report along with the plans outlined in the Defence Transformation announcement of 18 July 2011 for an integrated Army of 120,000 consisting of 82,000 regular personnel, 30,000 trained reservists and a margin for 8,000 Reservists in training, and proposed a future Army structure that would be able to meet these. The outcome of this study was announced in the House on 5 July (Official Report 5 July 2012: Column 1085) and included the decision that the Army would reduce the number of Infantry battalions in the Army’s Order of Battle from 36 to 31 battalions. The Army took account of a number of criteria in reaching the decision on which battalions would be withdrawn. These were: • maintaining a Regimental system which is largely regionally aligned; • demographic sustainability of Regiments according to projected regional supply of recruits in the 2020 timeframe; • proportionality of outcome, with no Regimental cap badge deletions and no regiment losing more than one battalion in a re-organisation; • balancing the whole Infantry structure to maintain variety of roles and parity of opportunity of experience for officers and soldiers; • taking account of previous decisions on mergers and deletions; • historical manning performance; and • ensuring a solution that the Army would see as fair and equitable.

Military Recruitment, Work & Culture in the South Wales Valleys
Military Recruitment, Work & Culture in the South Wales Valleys: A Local Geography of Contemporary British Militarism WISERD WORKING PAPER SERIES WISERD/WPS/009 Stuart Tannock, Stephen Burgess and Kate Moles February 2013 1 Authors: Stuart Tannock, Cardiff University Stephen Burgess, Cardiff University Kate Moles, Cardiff University Main Author Contact: Dr Stuart Tannock Cardiff University School of Social Sciences Glamorgan Building King Edward VII Avenue Cardiff CF10 3WT Email: [email protected] Tel: +44 (0)2920 875113 WISERD Hub Contact: Cardiff University 46 Park Place Cardiff CF10 3BB Tel: 02920879338 Email: [email protected] 2 Abstract This article explores how social and cultural life in the south Wales valleys, an area of economic deprivation within Britain, has been shaped by the British military and militarism, in ways that are both specific to the area and shared with other regions throughout the country. In particular, it argues that the convergence of several factors – including the processes of Welsh devolution and Welsh nationalism, the rise of the US-led war on global terror, the efforts of the British government to reshape civilian-military relations in the country, as well as the continuing economic struggles of the south Wales valleys themselves – has led to a resurgence of military presence and militarism in the region over the past decade. The article focuses on the ethical dilemmas of military recruitment in areas of economic deprivation. It also contributes to the literature on the everyday geographies of militarisation and militarism, a literature that argues that we can only understand how militarism is structured and rooted in the broader fabric of national society and economy if we examine closely how it is differentially embedded within and shaped by a myriad of social relationships and institutions at the local and regional level.

Y Dalaith John Bell Russell, OBE See Page 28 "T he Province" No. 50 September 2012 O Frawd I Frawd - From Brother to Brothererer The Magazine of the Masonic Province of South Wales Recent Events at the RMBI Home, Albert Edward Prince of Wales Court, Porthcawl By: Becky Timms, Administrator generous donation from the Friends of RMBI Home, Albert Edward Prince of A Wales Court in Porthcawl has enabled the purchase of a Wheelchair Adapted Citroen Bellingo. This vehicle will allow for greater flexibility for our residents, both in the number of staff who are able to drive this vehicle and the number of residents who can use it ,especially as 72% of our residents are reliant on the use of a wheelchair. Only having one wheelchair vehicle has often resulted in trips having to be cancelled or residents not being able to take part as we can either not accommodate them or we are using the vehicle for hospital runs. We are extremely grateful for the support we receive from the Friends, and this new car will go a long way towards making the lives of our residents both easier and more enjoyable. On our next big trip, the residents are off to St Fagans! W.Bro. Peter Rees is our only volunteer driver at present. Peter takes our residents back and forth to hospital appointments freeing our staff within the Photo; home to carry out care of the residents. This also Anthony Howell allows interaction and conversation between our residents and the volunteer which enhances their social life.
