Breckonshire Battalion (T.F.)

[stiletto_33853]

In WO363 I came across a soldiers record that I was looking for, the only trouble was that it contained his Territorial Record of his previous serivice in this Battalion up to 1912 when he was discharged on termination of engagement, para 156 (1) T.F. Regulations 1912 but unfortunately nothing on his WW1 service.

Could anyone tell me a little about this Battalion.
