Description: |
Originally known as the 1st Royal Surrey Regiment of Militia, the unit was redesignated the 3rd (Service) Battalion in 1881. Although the Battalion itself did not serve in the Boer War, a number of men did volunteer for overseas service. In 1908, it became part of the Special Reserve, but retained its links with the East Surreys. It remained in the UK for the duration of World War I, was suspended when the war ended and never reactivated. For a list of men, including some from this Battalion, who served in Namaqualand, 1902, see ESR/5/1/4. |
