Over the years, the formation of the cadet battalions was changed regularly, due to the changes to do with rules and the commanding officer.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEWallace2005235–236_43-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWallace2005235–236-43"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>43<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The 1st Cadet Battalion owes its foundation to the Reverend Freeman Wills, who was commissioned into the Volunteer Army in the rank of captain on 26 July 1890. He was also Vicar of St Agatha's just behind Sun Street, <a href="/wiki/Finsbury_Square" title="Finsbury Square">Finsbury Square</a>. On receiving his commission he decided to form a cadet company within the 1st Cadet Battalion, the <a href="/wiki/Queen%27s_Royal_Regiment_(West_Surrey)" title="Queen's Royal Regiment (West Surrey)">Royal West Surrey Regiment</a>. The company quickly expanded to become the 2nd Cadet Battalion, the Royal West Surrey Regiment, at which point he moved the battalion headquarters to No. 2 Finsbury Square (and in 1904 to 24 Sun Street, which he had specially built for the purpose). In 1894 he applied to <a href="/wiki/Prince_George,_Duke_of_Cambridge" title="Prince George, Duke of Cambridge">Prince George, Duke of Cambridge</a>, Colonel-in-Chief, to affiliate to the regiment, with the title of 1st Cadet Battalion, the King's Royal Rifle Corps.

On becoming a part of the King's Royal Rifle Corps, subscriptions began to flow in and, after the commanding officer had spent nearly £1,000, the battalion was placed on a financial basis that many volunteer corps would have envied. There were to be many ups and down in later years, especially when recognition of the Cadet Force was withdrawn between the two world wars, but fortunately the enthusiasm and commitment of those involved consistently triumphed over the parsimony of governments.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEWallace2005235–236_43-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWallace2005235–236-43"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>43<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1900, when volunteers were urgently needed for the Second Boer War, the commanding officer, Colonel Freeman Croft-Wills, persuaded the War Office to accept a company of the older cadets, principally N.C.O.s (non-commissioned officers), the company being enrolled in the City Imperial Volunteers. Around 100 cadets thus served in South Africa with this unit, whilst other cadets and ex-cadets served in the Royal Army Medical Corps, and other units. Four were killed in action, one serving with the 1st Battalion King's Royal Rifle Corps at the Battle of Dundee, and the others with units of the C.I.V.s. Their comrades erected brass plaques in their memory in the Drill Hall at Sun Street. These are now displayed in the Cadet Company Office here at Davies Street.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEWallace2005235–236_43-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWallace2005235–236-43"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>43<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In recognition of this service, <a href="/wiki/Edward_VII" title="Edward VII">King Edward VII</a> granted the battalion the honour of wearing on its accoutrements the battle honour "South Africa 1900–1902" (Army Order 151 of 1905).

Over the next three years the unit expanded to five companies, which in April 1945 led to it being re-titled the 2nd Cadet Battalion, The King's Royal Rifle Corps. In 1951 the 1st and 2nd Cadet Battalion were amalgamated. This resulted in the disposal of the headquarters of the 1st Cadet Battalion at Sun Street.
