History of the Regiment

1946 -1967
By 1947 most units of the Regiment had gone into suspended animation but many officers and men were still serving at home and overseas and some sub-units such as guard companies were still holding together and wearing Regimental uniform. After several postponements authority was given to start recruitment for a new 1st Bn on a peacetime basis on 1st May 1947.

The reformed battalion consisted initially of an HQ Company, a Rifle Company and a Support Company and later, with a normal infantry battalion establishment, performed the role of a Territorial battalion, firstly in 44th (Home Counties) Division, and later in 56th (London) Division. This continued until 1967 when the Territorial Army was reorganised.

In the Regiment's Centenary year 1959, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother had presented new Colours to the Regiment at the Duke of York's HQ and the old Colours were laid up at St. Columbas Pont Street.
