My great grandfather was a member of this in the 1860's. Where can I find more information?
Thank you

Some info here re Volunteer Force:

Of note:
Members were to be returned as “effective” if they had attended eight days drill and exercise in four months, or 24 days within a year.
The members of the corps were to provide their own arms and equipment, and were to defray all costs except when assembled for actual service.

There's a lengthy article in the Stamford Mercury, Fri 21st Sep 1860, celebrating the inauguration of the Corps on the 13th of that month.
