Battalion History

11th (Service) Battalion. Formed at Wrexham on 18th October 1914 as part of K3 and came under command of 67th Brigade, 22nd Division. The Battalion concentrated at Seaford for individual and collective training before moving to St Leonards in December 1914. The Battalion was returned to Seaford in April 1915 but moved on to Aldershot in June 1915. The Battalion, with the Division, landed in France early September 1915 for duty with the BEF but later the Division was selected to join the British Salonika Force and by 5th November 1915 it was at Salonika where it remained for the rest of the war. A detailed history of the 22nd Division's actions and battles during the war can be viewed here.

Regimental History

The Regiment was formed on 1st July 1881 as part of the Childers Reforms which saw the 2 separate Battalions of the 23rd (Royal Welsh Fusiliers) Regiment of Foot re-titled to become the regular 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Regiment, with the Regimental Depot based at Hightown Barracks, Wrexham.

The 1881 reforms also redesignated the Rifle Volunteer Corps (RVC) and Militia units within the Regimental District of Anglesey, Carnarvonshire, Denbighshire, Flintshire and Merionethshire (and later in 1908, Montgomeryshire) as numbered Battalions of the Regiment - the 1st Denbighshire Volunteers becoming the 1st Volunteer Battalion and the 1st Flintshire & Carnarvon Volunteers becoming the 2nd Volunteer Battalion,

The Militia units of the Regiment were the Royal Denbigh and Merioneth Rifles and the Royal Carnarvon Rifle Corps. In 1908, as part of the Haldane Reforms, the Militia Battalions were reorganised and restructured forming the 3rd (Special Reserve) Battalion and the RVC Battalions (which were re-organised in the late 1890s when the 3rd Volunteer Battalion was formed) were retitled. The 1st Volunteer Battalion became the 4th (Denbighshire) Battalion TF, the 2nd Volunteer Battalion became the 5th (Flintshire) Battalion TF, the 3rd Volunteer Battalion became the 6th (Carnarvonshire & Anglesey) Battalion TF and the 4th Volunteer Battalion became the 7th (Merioneth & Montgomery) Battalion TF of the Regimental Territorial Force.

After the Declaration of War on 4th August 1914 and up to 1st June 1918, the Royal Welsh Fusiliers had formed, disbanded or reconstituted 45 Regular, Territorial Force, Service, Garrison and Reserve Battalions.
