Militia soldiers were already engaged for terms of service, and the Bermuda Militia Artillery was not similarly re-organised until 1928 (its name, also, was not modified to reflect the change). The name of the corps was not modified to reflect the change, however. Those other ranks who chose to continue serving were re-attested, committing to terms of service which meant they could no longer quit the corps with fourteen days notice. This resulted in the Bermuda Volunteer Rifle Corps being re-organised on territorial lines in 1921. Following the First World War, the British Government's policy of austerity resulted in a substantial reduction of the regular army, including reducing the regular infantry in Bermuda and removing the Royal Artillery and the Royal Engineers Fortress companies from Bermuda in 1928, with the local reserve units shouldering more responsibility. Contingents from both units were deployed to France and Belgium in June 1915 and saw action on the Western Front during the First World War.
