ss002d6252 Posted 23 March , 2019 Share Posted 23 March , 2019 They were an additional force to supplement and assist alongside, or in place of, the territorial force - https://www.longlongtrail.co.uk/soldiers/a-soldiers-life-1914-1918/enlisting-into-the-army/british-army-reserves-and-reservists/the-national-reserve/ Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
researchingreg Posted 23 March , 2019 Author Share Posted 23 March , 2019 Craig Thanks for the info and link. Would soldiers who were discharged from the regular Army as unfit be able to join a National Reserve unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss002d6252 Posted 23 March , 2019 Share Posted 23 March , 2019 I'm not sure if the national reserve carried on recruiting during the war or not. There was the 'volunteer force' that was established which was more like the home guard style of unit. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
