joining the unit after the war with some blaming the splitting of the unit in 1916 as affecting its reputation. At one point the
Nyasaland legislative council discussed abolishing the unit or merging it with the police force. On 19 December 1921 Major A. A. Fen was appointed as staff officer and organising secretary, being replaced by Major H. E. Greene on 24 August 1924. By 1930 the NVR had ten sections stationed at Zomba, Blantyre, Port Herald, Namwera, Mlanje, Chiradzulu, Limbe, Mikalongwe, Fort Lister and Dedza. Greene remained in post as commander of the NVR until at least 1932 but was gone by November 1935 at which point the position was vacant. A P. L. Batcock was appointed paymaster and quartermaster on 1 May 1938. The later history of the unit is not known but it remained in existence until at least 1941.

The Limbe sub-section was established as a formal section of the NVR by order of 31 March 1916 and during the war peaked at 43 members, of whom 30 were of Indian ethnicity. During the war almost the entire British male military age population of the protectorate served in the NVR (the total British population, including women and children, was around 800).

December 1913 the NVR had a strength of 143 men. It was considered too small to function as a separate unit on active service and so, in times of war, the plan was to use the unit as a source of officers for new battalions of native troops, with a residual unit of 50 men to serve as local guards.
