At the outbreak of war in August 1914 local patriotic men throughout the country formed themselves into local volunteer corps under many designations and offered their services to the government. Initially these groups were not supported, but in November 1914 official approval was granted to set up the Central Association of Volunteer Training Corps to administer local volunteer units, most of which became Volunteer Training Corps. In April 1916 the government accepted the offers of VTCs to serve in the country's defence. In December, legislation led to the uniform of VTCs being recognised as belonging to an arm of His Majesty's Forces and was renamed the Volunteer Force, with the County Territorial Force Associations taking over the administration of the units. Volunteer regiments were permitted to style themselves as volunteer battalions of their local regular of Territorial regiments and most adopted alternative title and badges of their affiliated regiments.
