History
"1913 Militia Rifle Club Structure and Location of Activity List in Western Australia
During the re-organisation of the Militia as a consequence of
the 1910 Kitchener Report, a new system of raising
the forces occurred. In so doing, areas whose population altered
and were unable to sustain any Militia activity had functions
removed. Other areas had the units peculiar to the particular state
disbanded or amalgamated with other units. In 1911 there were
specific 1,527 Militia activities spread over the continent of
Australia. This increased to 1,772 Militia activities in 1912.
However, the transition was not always linear. In the shake-up, 236
Militia activities were removed from various centres. The major
reason for the removal of an activity related to population issues.
The main item removed from an area was the rifle club.
The following is a list of all Militia Rifle Club activities that
were in operation from a particular location in Western Australia
during the 1913 year."
