In accordance with the [[Territorial and Reserve Forces Act 1907]] (''[[7 Edw. 7]], c.9'') which brought the [[Territorial Force]] into being, the TF was intended to be a home defence force for service during wartime and members could not be compelled to serve outside the country. However, on the outbreak of war on 4 August 1914, many members volunteered for [[Territorial Force Imperial Service Badge|Imperial Service]]. Therefore, TF units were split in August and September 1914 into 1st Line (liable for overseas service) and 2nd Line (home service for those unable or unwilling to serve overseas) units. Later, a 3rd Line was formed to act as a reserve, providing trained replacements for the 1st and 2nd Line regiments.{{harvnb|Rinaldi|2008|p=35}} |
