The Special Reserve, article from the website The Long, Long Trail “The Special Reserve came into existence through Part III of the Territorial and Reserve Forces Act 1907, a key part of the Haldane reforms of the British Army. Its primary purpose was the creation of a pool of trained men who could be called upon to reinforce the regular army in the event of war. The introduction of the Special Reserve was accompanied by the elimination of the existing Militia. 23 of 124 battalions of the Militia were disbanded completely, and the remainder were in effect converted into units of the new Special Reserve.” https://www.longlongtrail.co.uk/the-special-reserve / (
