Serving with the
Jamaica Contingent of British West Indies Regiment **Serving with the R.A.M.C. with rank of Major.
+Dead.
Prior to the
outbreak of the war there existed an
unrecognized volunteer corps known as the St. Andrew Rifle Corps. This
Corps, though not recognized as a
military body, was partly
supported by the Government, grants
being made to it each year for training
and for ammunition and transport. The majority of its members had been
members of the former Kingston Infantry Militia.
On the outbreak of war, when it was found
desirable to enroll the Corps as part of the new Volunteer Force, it was
decided to disband the Corps and to re-enlist the men in a Company of the
Volunteer Force to be designated as
"The Kingston Infantry Volunteers."
The Commanding Officer of the Corps was accordingly authorized, under
warrant by the Governor, to enlist persons to serve as members of a Company of theVolunteer Force to be designated as the Kingston Infantry Volunteers. This was done and
Commissions were issued to
the officers of the Corps.
The present officers of the Kingston
Infantry Volunteers are:—
