This was unusual because most of the county TFAs were fully engaged with recruiting and equipping their existing TF units and had no time for the New Army units (in March 1915 the War Office had politely to ask the TFAs to become involved in recruiting them.) The '' Hull Daily Mail'' of 31 August 1914 carried Nunburnholme's proposal to raise a 'Commercial Battalion' from men working in business offices in Hull who would serve alongside their friends. Recruitment opened the following day at Wenlock Barracks on Anlaby Road

The battalion reached its full establishment (just over 1000 men) on 5 September, and recruiting immediately began for a 2nd Hull Battalion, 'The Tradesmen'.

By the time voluntary enlistment ended at the end of 1915, Nunburnholme and the East Riding TA had been responsible for raising not only the Second and Third Line TF units in the county, but the following New Army units:[Becke, Pt 3b, pp. 11–19.][Bilton, ''Hull Pals''.][Drake.]

When the 4th Bn East Yorkshires (TF) landed in France in April 1915, Nunburnholme published a new appeal for volunteers in the ''Hull Daily Mail''. There was also a flurry of recruitment for home defence forces, drawn from men who were too old or otherwise ineligible for the army. The Hull Golfers Battalion was soon 200 strong, and was replaced by a 2800-strong armed Civic Guard. Nunburnholme began an appeal for donations to organise these men into the East Riding Volunteer Brigade of three battalions in the Volunteer Training Corps
