- THE WILTSHIRE REGIMENT
- (DUKE of EDINBURGH'S)
- BRIEFING BOARD
THE AIM :- of this section is
to cover the activities of the 1st Battalion Wiltshire 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 Royal Berkshire 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.
