Records of the volunteer, territorial, auxiliary and reserve military units raised in Hertfordshire
- Held At: Hertfordshire Archives and Local Studies
- Title: Records of the volunteer, territorial, auxiliary and reserve military units raised in Hertfordshire
- Description: The records which make up this collection were passed to Hertfordshire Archives and Local Studies by Colonel J D Sainsbury on behalf of various organisations and individuals. They relate to volunteer, territorial, auxiliary and reserve military units raised in Hertfordshire between 1663 and 1994.
A history of these forces is added to the catalogue at the relevant points. For more information see J D Sainsbury's books, which have been extensively consulted in preparing this catalogue, copies of which are available at Hertfordshire Archives and Local Studies, together with a number of other publications relating to this county's military history, compiled by Colonel Sainsbury and others.
The catalogue is structured to reflect the administrative history of the volunteer, territorial, auxiliary and reserve military units raised in Hertfordshire in the context of the legal framework in which they were formed and developed. To write an overarching administriative history of all the units would be too complicated so please see the specific sections of the catalogue for the different units, for administrative information relevant to those units. - Date: 1757 - 2013
