2nd A.B Shropshire Volunteers cap badge, Woodcote, NewportFrom Woodcote area. Dated to 1860 - 1880. The Newport Rifle Corps were offered the use of the Woodcote rifle range after the Coppice Bank rifle butts could not be used. When the national movement to establish a Volunteer force got underway in 1859, Shropshire raised 18 companies of Royal Volunteers in 1859-60. For adminstrative reasons, these were organised into two battalions in 1860 called Administrative Battalions and this badge was worn by the 2nd A.B, which incorporated the northern companies of Rifle Volunteers (Mkt.Drayton, Whitchurch, Wellington, Hodnet, Wem, Ellesmere, Oswestry, Newport). All these companies wore this cap badge, which is rather an individual one. The 1st A.B had the southern companies. In 1880 the two Admin Battalions were renamed 1st and 2nd Volunteer Battalions, Kings Shropshire Light Infantry. The badge can therefore be dated clearly to 1860-1880. The term 'Rifle Corp.' was used briefly in the late 1850s when many Militia and Loyal Volunteer companies were being centralised into the Volunteer Battalions or simply disbanded as many Militia's were at that time.
