- ADMINISTRATIVE/ BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY
The New South Corps was raised in 1789. The first contingent arrived in Sydney with the Second Fleet in June 1790. In addition to defending the colony from foreign attack, the Corps' duties included supervising convicts, guarding government buildings and assisting settlers and convicts in emergencies. Officers served as district magistrates, jurors and public servants. The commanding officer held the title of Lieutenant Governor and was expected to take command in the event of the Governor's absence or ill-health. In 1809 the Corps became the 102nd Regiment of Foot. The following year the regiment was withdrawn from New South Wales and replaced by the 73rd Regiment of Foot which arrived with Lachlan Macquarie in April 1810. -- Source: 'A Colonial Regiment: New Sources relating to the New South Wales Corps, 1789-1810', edited by Pamela Statham, 1992 (Mitchell Library location REF 1 Q356.189/1).
