Commanding Officers of the 6th Battalion

In 1900 the 4th (Militia) Battalion, originally known as the 2nd Battalion of the old Worcestershire Militia until 1881, was renumbered the 6th Battalion due to the fact that new Regular Battalions were raised for fighting in the Boer War.

The 6th Battalion joined the British Army in South Africa in January 1902 and retuned back to England in September 1902, and the Battalion was disembodied at Worcester.

In 1905 the 6th Battalion (old Militia), now renamed the “Special Reserve”, were playing their part in the organization of the national defences.

Below is a list of all the officers who have commanded the 6th Battalion Worcestershire Regiment from 1900 to 1919.
