These men in the table below are understood to have served in the militia, and to have transferred across when the Special Reserve superseded it.
Featured man – 3/9340 Private Henry Madden
Henry Madden became a member of the Special Reserve upon its inception on 5th July 1908. This we know from his Silver War Badge. It is my guess that he enlisted in the Militia in October 1907 (this is the case for 9349 Clemens), and transferred across. The one important source document for this man is the British War Medal and Victory Medal roll (WO 329/1089) and is in the specific part with a page header of “Special Reserve”. A relative has found that there is a newspaper article online which refers to him being wounded at the First Battle of Ypres, on 29 October 1914. He was eventually given a medical discharge, dated 10 October 1915 and was issued a Silver War Badge. The SWB roll tells us he was discharged from the regimental depot, usually an indicator that the person is not well. He lived until 1971.
He is documented on the following page
