The North Midland Brigade was an infantry formation of Britain's Volunteer Force from 1888 to 1908.

This proposed a Mobilisation Scheme for units of the Volunteer Force, which would assemble by brigades at key points in case of war.

[1][2] Under this scheme the Volunteer Battalions of the Lincolnshire and the Sherwood Foresters (Derbyshire) Regiments would assemble at Derby.

[3] All the battalions provided volunteers to serve alongside the Regular regiments in the 2nd Boer War and gained the Battle honour South Africa 1900–02.

However, on 1 June 1906 all the Volunteer brigadiers received new commissions, and Earl Manvers was reappointed to the re-amalgamated North Midland Brigade.
