HC Deb 23 November 1926 vol 200 c219W
Mr. RENNIE SMITH

asked the Secretary of State for War if he can supply particulars of military service of all kinds for the Channel Islands?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

The Channel Islands Militia is the only military force raised in the Channel Islands. The establishment of this militia is given on page 62 of the current Army Estimates. I understand that service in the force is, broadly speaking, compulsory on British subjects resident in the islands. In addition to the militia, there are at present two regular infantry battalions stationed in the islands, together with a small number of artillery and other troops.
