In fact just to further that, I compared the Officers' List of the Australian Military Forces 1912 with the Officers' List of the Australian Military Forces 1914, and it shows me that the officers of the VSR formed the 52nd Infantry, and the Victorian Rifles formed the 51st Infantry. The 1914 List also show 'G' Coy at South Melbourne and 'H' Coy at Port Melbourne for the 52nd Infantry as at 1 August 1914, but they were not being maintained at 1 January 1915 according to Distribution of the Militia Forces 1914-15.
