HERITAGE PLUS Posted 7 January , 2011 Share Posted 7 January , 2011 Steve I was not near my books when I posted earlier so here is some unit background: 1859 - 1st Edinburgh (City) Rife Volunteer Corps raised. 1865 - Other Edinburgh Corps absorbed and the combined unit named Queen's City of Edinburgh Rifle Volunteer Brigade. 1881 - Linked to Royal Scots as 1st. Volunteer Battalion - 2nd and 3rd Volunteer Battalions later raised. 1908 - became 4th and 5th (Queens Edinburgh Rifles)Battalions (Territorial Force). 1921 - two Battalions amalgamated as 4th/5th (Queens Edinburgh) Battalion. 1940 - Transferred to Royal Artillery.
