	Volunteer Regiments of the British Army: Overview
		The Territorial Force did not originally extend to Ireland or the UK dependencies of the Isle of Man and Channel Islands, but in 1947 TA units were formed in Northern Ireland from war-raised battalions.
		The Territorial Force was mobilised in August 1914, whereupon its units became full-time combattants on a par with the regular army.
		Territorial Force units were disembodied during demobilisation in 1918 and reconstituted in 1920 as the part-time Territorial Army.
