Western Australian Militia
4th Battalion, W.A. Infantry Brigade
The following is an extract from the book written in 1962 by George F. Wieck called The Volunteer Movement in Western Australia 1861-1903, p. 65:
4th Battalion, W.A. Infantry Brigade
The 4th Battalion was actually the former Metropolitan Civil Service Rifles. The West Australian Highlanders Company was added at a later date.
When the Brigade was dissolved on 1 July 1903, the 4th Battalion was amalgamated with the 3rd Battalion (less Guildford portion) to form the new 1st Battalion, W.A. Infantry Regiment.
