"Tribal"
Perhaps "tribal" could be defined with a few salient examples. Varlaam (talk) 00:20, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Regulation of the Forces Act (bill 193) Passed 27 Aug 1881
Some pertinent text from the Act

10 Provision for Supplemental Reserve

(1) For the purpose of establishing a Supplemental Reserve it shall be lawful for Her Majesty to authorise men to be enrolled in the first class of the army reserve force under the condition that they are not called out for permanent service until the whole of the remainder of the said first class have been called out for permanent service, and regulations may from time to time be made under the Reserve Force Act 1876 for carrying into effect this section.

This introduced Section D of the Army Reserve, to supplement Section A and Section B men still serving their time on their 12 year contracts.Keith H99 (talk) 16:31, 2 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Similarly of interest


 * 13 Removal of doubts as to pensions of army reserve men.


 * Whereas by the Reserve Force Act, 1867, the Secretary of State has power to make regulations respecting the pensions of men belonging to the army reserve force:


 * And whereas doubts have arisen as to whether the pensions payable to men in pursuance of those regulations can in all cases be awarded and paid by the Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital, and it is expedient to remove such doubts; be it therefore enacted as follows:—


 * Where, either before or after the passing of this Act, a man in the army reserve force has been called out for permanent service, and at the termination of such service has been returned to the army reserve force, and has become entitled to pension under any regulation by the Secretary of State, made either before or after the passing of this Act, or before or after such calling out or return, then the Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital shall have the same power to award and pay the said pension, and otherwise in relation to the said pension, as they would have if such man had been discharged from the army on reduction.

I had neglected to insert this other clause. Now, both of the clauses that amended the Regulation of the Forces Act 1871 can be read above. Keith H99 (talk) 06:52, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

Should the "later changes" section mention the cavalry amalgamations of 1921-22?
Currently, as far as I'm aware, it only gets a few lines in Cavalry regiments of the British Army. RadioactiveBoulevardier (talk) 08:44, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
