Battalion History

The 9th (Service) Battalion was formed at Cardiff in September 1914, part of K2. The Battalion assembled at a camp on Salisbury Plain and was paced under command of 58th Brigade, 19th (Western) Division. In November 1914 the Battalion was moved to the Basingstoke area and then to Weston-super-Mare in January 1915. To continue its intensive individual, collective and unit training the Battalion was moved to Perham Down, near Tidworth, in May 1915. Once the Battalion, and the Division, was considered to be prepared for active service it was ordered to move to the BEF in France and Flanders. The Battalion departed Southampton on HMT Monas Queen on 18th July 1915 for Le Havre arriving the next day. On 17th August 1915 the Battalion began its instruction into trench warfare in the La Bassee area with the Dehra Dun Brigade. The Battalion fought with 58th Brigade, 19th (Western) Division in France and Flanders throughout the war.

Regimental History

The Welsh Regiment was formed on 1 July 1881 as part of the Childers Reforms which saw an amalgamation of the 41st (Welch) Regiment of Foot and the 69th (South Lincolnshire) Regiment of Foot. These two units became the Regular 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Regiment, with the Regimental Depot based at Maindy Barracks, Cardiff. The 1881 reforms also redesignated the Militia and Rifle Volunteer Corps (RVC) units within the Regimental District of Carmarthenshire, Glamorgan and Pembrokeshire as Battalions of the Welsh Regiment (1st Pembrokeshire RVC, 1st Glamorganshire RVC, 2nd Glamorganshire RVC and the 3rd Glamorganshire RVC). The Militia unit of the Regiment was the Royal Glamorgan Light Infantry Militia. In 1908, as part of the Haldane Reforms, the Militia Battalion was reorganised and restructured forming the 3rd (Special Reserve) Battalion and the four RVC Battalions formed the 4th Battalion, 5th Battalion, 6th Battalion and 7th (Cyclist) Battalion of the Regimental Territorial Force. After the Declaration of War on 4th August 1914 and up to 1st June 1918, the Welsh Regiment had formed 17 Service/Reserve Battalions, a further 9 Territorial Force Battalions and 3 Graduated/Young Soldier Battalions.
