It saw a great deal of action as an infantry regiment in World War I. During World War II it served first as a searchlight regiment in the United Kingdom, and later as an anti-aircraft artillery regiment in North West Europe. ==Origins== The 2nd City of London Rifle Volunteer Corps (RVC), founded in 1860, was one of many RVCs raised as a result of an invasion scare the previous year. Based in Little New Street and recruiting in the Fleet Street and Farringdon Road area of the City of London, it was known as the 'Printers’ Battalion', drawing volunteers mainly from the nearby printing works of Eyre & Spottiswoode; later two companies were provided by Harmsworth's Associated Newspapers, publisher of the ''Daily Mail''.〔Beckett, p. 70 and Appendix VII.〕〔(6th Londons at Regiments.org )〕〔Westlake, p. 161.〕〔Godfrey, p. 2.〕 Among the first officers to be commissioned were George A. Spottiswoode and William Spottiswoode.〔 In 1872 the 2nd City of London absorbed the 48th Middlesex RVC, known as 'Havelock's Temperance Volunteers'. This unit had been founded by the cartoonist and Temperance campaigner George Cruikshank and named after Major-General Sir Henry Havelock, a hero of the Indian Mutiny and pioneer of Temperance Clubs in the army.〔Westlake, p. 179.〕〔(''Falling off the Wagon'' at Fusiliers Museum )〕 Like the Printers', this unit was recruited mainly from London artisans, but had suffered financial difficulties. When Cruikshank was forced to retire due to his great age, he was replaced as commanding officer by Lt-Col Cuthbert Vickers, a wealthy shipowner.〔〔〔Beckett, pp. 61, 95 and Appendix VII.〕〔Godfrey, pp1–3.〕〔(Cuthbert Vickers probate, ''London Gazette'' 3 October 1922. )〕 Vickers went on to command the combined unit, whose headquarters was established at Cooks Court, Carey Street (just behind the Royal Courts of Justice on Fleet Street). It adopted the Rifle green uniform with red facings of the 48th Middlesex (similar to the Regular King's Royal Rifle Corps), but replaced the shako and cocks' feathers plume with the Rifle busby.〔〔Money Barnes, Appendix III.〕〔Maude, Appendix F.〕 In 1881, as part of the extension of the Cardwell Reforms, the 2nd London RVC was designated the 10th Volunteer Battalion of the King's Royal Rifle Corps (KRRC), but continued to use its previous title, and apparently added the unofficial subtitle 'City of London Rifles'.〔〔〔Martin, pp. 4–5.〕 The battalion constructed a new headquarters at 57a Farringdon Road in 1887–8. The City of London Livery companies contributed to the building costs, and the battalion raised much of the rest by holding an assault-at-arms display at the Royal Aquarium.〔Godfrey, p. 3.〕 In 1905 the City of London School Cadet Corps was affiliated to the battalion.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「City of London Rifles」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
