HONGKONG VOLUNTEER CORPS

The Corps as it existed until 1893 consisted solely of an Artillery Corps. It was not made subject to the Army Act, and consequently was not held to be in a military sense a reliable force in the event of war.

In 1893 the force was disbanded by the Government and a new Volunteer Corps was formed under Ordinance No. 6 of 1893, which placed the Corps under the supervision of the military authorities as in England, and made it subject to the Army Act to the same extent as the Volunteer Force in England. Amended Regulations were made by the Governor-in-Council on the 25th May, 1899, and again amended on the 6th November, 1902.

The establishment of the Corps has now been fixed as follows:

Unit	Strength
2 Garrison Artillery Companies	310
1 Engineer Company	60
Band	23
and a Troop	43

with a Staff of 1 Major Commandant and Adjutant, 1 Major 2nd in Command, 2 Medical Officers, 1 Corps Sergeant Major, and 1 Orderly Room Clerk (Chinese), and 1 Armourer Sergeant.

The Staff is complete, and the other Units have been formed, with actual strength as follows:
