In 1902, Britain had three reserve forces. They were the Militia, the Yeomanry, and the Volunteers.
The Militia was the oldest force. It had been formed in England in the middle ages as a home defence force. Each county of England had to provide a force of foot soldiers for service in times of crisis. By the 19th century the Militia had been extended to Ireland, Scotland and Wales. From 1852 it had become a volunteer force of infantry, artillery, engineer and medical units. Largely based in the rural parts of the country, units existed only during the month-long annual camp. Landowners acted as officers and farm labourers formed the bulk of the rank and file. As well as a home defence force, it had become a method of introducing young men to military life and many of them transferred to the regular army after a short period in the Militia. It also acted as an administrative organisation for the regular soldiers who transferred to the reserves on completion of full-time service.
The Yeomanry had been formed in the 1790s as a force of volunteer cavalry whose ranks were filled by independent farmers who were sufficiently wealthy to provide their own horses. Often used as a police force during the 19th century, the Yeomanry attracted a great deal of interest. Their role as mounted infantry in the South African war added to their glamour and high public profile.
The Volunteers were formed as rifle clubs in the large cities and industrials from 1859. During the 1860s they were enlarged to include artillery and engineers as well as infantry. Largely based on individual factories, businesses and professions, they trained at weekends and mobilised for an annual camp. As such they were more vigorous than the Militia, but confined to home defence. The Volunteers were to provide the bulk of the Territorial Force in 1908.
For political reasons, the Volunteers did not form units in Ireland.
Although there was an inspectorate of reserve and auxiliary forces in the War Office, units of all three reserves were distributed between the geographic district commands into which the United Kingdom was divided. Three commands-Aldershot, Woolwich and Curragh-commanded regular forces only; the rest commanded a mixture of regular and reserve units.
None of the reserves were organised into higher formations such as brigades and divisions. This came about in 1908 when most of the reserves were concentrated into the newly-formed Territorial Force. That force comprised 14 infantry divisions, 14 cavalry brigades, and coast defence troops.
During the war in South Africa, 1899-1902, all three reserves were mobilised. Many units either served abroad or sent ad hoc contingents to South Africa. All returned to the UK during 1902.
In the following account, units are listed according to arm of service-cavalry, artillery, engineers, infantry and medical. Within each arm, militia (M) are listed before volunteers (V). The location of the headquarters of each unit is given: many yeomanry and volunteer units had sub-units in other locations.
