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. The Welsh Regiment was renamed the Welch Regiment in 1920. |
