Details: Up till the mid fifties the only troops garrisoned in Newcastle had been Imperial Regulars, but in 1855, a company of volunteer Infantry was formed under the command of Captain Baker, and it was designed the Northern Battalion Volunteer Newcastle Rifles. In the same year a battery of volunteer artillery under Captain McPherson was as raised. The year 1865 saw the formation of a naval artillery brigade, whose commanding officer was Captain David Allen (harbour master at Newcastle) his second-in-command being Lieutenant Herbert Cross. It consisted of sixty gunners, and possessed a fine brass band. In 1873, the volunteer infantry, numbering one hundred rank and file, was commanded by Major Charles Bolton whose subordinates were Captain Brown, Lieutenant Arnott, and Ensign J D Langley, while the volunteer artillery was now commanded by Captain Holt, his assistant being Lieutenant (afterwards Colonel) Kirkaldy, and it consisted of eighty gunners. A proclamation by the Governor of New South Wales dated March 6, 1884, shows that approval was given for the unit, then situated at Newcastle, Maitland and Singleton to be now styled The 4th Regiment of New South Wales Volunteer Infantry. By 1897 Newcastle was strongly fortified, there being a garrison at Fort Scratchley on Allen s Hill and another on Shepherd s Hill, and they commanded the coast, harbour, and the city itself. The plans for Fort Scratchley were originally designed by G. A. Morrell CE., and were approved by Colonel Peter Scratchley R.E., himself, the armament consisting of three 9 in muzzle-loading rifle guns with a casemented battery of rifled 80 pounders, the whole being enclosed by a ditch and palisading, with the necessary loopholes for armament. During the Boer War, a contingent of the 4th Regiment sailed direct for South Africa from Newcastle by the Langton Grange. With the introduction of universal training in 1911, the old 4th Regiment ceased to exit, as such being succeeded by the 15th and 16th Infantry Battalions, the former being centred at Maitland, while the latter headquarters were the same as the present 2/35th Battalion at Newcastle. THE GREAT WAR - On the outbreak of the Great War, Newcastle sent two fine units overseas. The 2nd Battalion was present at the landing at Anzac, while the 35th Battalion was recruited in the same year entirely from Newcastle. It did glorious service during the succeeding three years on the Western Front, receiving its baptism of fire at Messines. At the conclusion of the war the identities of the famous Newcastle A.I.F. units were perpetuated in the militia system; from the 16th Battalion was formed the 2nd and 35th Battalions, A.M.F. The 2nd Battalion took the name City of Newcastle Regiment, while the 35th Battalion assumed the title of its parent A.I.F. unit, Newcastle s Own together with the motto of the old 4th Regiment New South Wales Volunteer Infantry, Fidelis et Paratus. January 1, 1934, saw the amalgamation of the 2nd and 35th Battalions to form the present 2/35th Battalion, and on March 6 1934 this new unit carried out the trooping of the colour to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the formation of the 4th Regiment, from which it claims direct lineal descent. On Thursday last when our Royal visitor visited Newcastle, he was received with due military ceremony by the local militia units and the permanent garrison of Fort Scratchley. One hundred and thirty years of unbroken military service is this historic city s proud record and contribution to the defence of Australia.
