    Auckland Mounted Rifles Squadrons


    Recommended Posts

    Hello

    I have just acquired a Victory Medal to a trooper who served with the Auckland Mounted Rifles and he was listed as serving in "E" Squadron but I cant seem to locate any information on the sqd's  in a letter format only number

     

    Would appreciate any assistance with this

     

    regards

    Under the British system of organization in WW!, infantry companies were typically numbered and cavalry troops lettered, though most regiments had four troops - A,B,C,D - I think. 

    The Auckland Mounted rifles was apaprently a composite unit, with three squadrons, numbered 3, 4 & 11.  There is more in formation here, if you can puzzle it out, including some links to unit histories at the bottom of the page.  https://nzhistory.govt.nz/war/auckland-mounted-rifles

      Good luck!
