Around 200 Black & White Photographs

This intriguing collection of around 200 photographs illustrates the distinguished service of a South Wales Regiment which can be traced back to the early 18th century. It illustrates the history of the 1st and 2nd Battalions, The Welsh Regiment, formed from the 40st (the Welch) Regiment of Infantry and the 69th (South Lincolnshire) Regiment which saw worldwide service in the days of the Empire and beyond. Supported at home, until 1908, by one Militia Battalion and four Volunteer Battalions, and after 1908 by four Territorial Battalions, the Regiment could truly be described as the indigenous infantry of south and south-west Wales.
