The '''Burma Railways Volunteer Corps''' were an [[auxiliary regiment]] in [[Burma]].
"In the case of an outbreak of hostilities, the special work of the Burma Railway Volunteers would be to ensure that the railway communications were undisturbed, and to hold the stations....one of the regulations of the Burma Railway Company is that all their European and Eurasian employees shall undergo the necessary military training to make themselves efficient members of it." <ref name=Southeast>Wright, Arnold (Ed) [http://digitalseasiavisions.library.cornell.edu/cgibookreader/tsea:362/text#page/pageviewer-idx?c=sea;cc=sea;q1=burma%20railway%20volunteers;rgn=full%20text;idno=sea362;didno=sea362;view=image;seq=267 /mode/1up ‘’Twentieth Century Impressions of Burma (1910) – Burma Railway Volunteers] , page 263.
