Royal Berkshire Regiment
(Princess Charlotte of Wales)
Briefing Board
THE AIM :- of this section is to cover the activities of
the 1st Battalion Royal Berkshire Regiment from 1948, when the 1st &
2nd Battalions merged during the post war reorganization of the British
Army through to 1959 when they amalgamated with the 1st
Battalion The Wiltshire Regiment. We will highlight the activities of
those who served during that time, and who later went on to serve in, and
make
the
1st Battalion Duke of Edinburgh's Royal Regiment, the Regiment it was.
If you served in this Battalion between
these dates we would welcome any comments or assistance you can offer the
'Farmers boys' Website Team.
