Royal Welsh Regiment
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Royal Welsh Regiment was an infantry regiment of the Territorial Army in the United Kingdom. It was formed in 1999 as part of the restructuring of the TA by the amalgamation of the two Welsh TA battalions:
- 3rd (V) Battalion, Royal Welch Fusiliers
- 2nd (V) Battalion, Royal Regiment of Wales
The regiment had a total of five companies:
- HQ Company - Cardiff
- A (RWF) Company - Wrexham
- B (RRW) Company - Swansea
- C (RRW) Company - Pontypridd
- D (RWF) Company - Colwyn Bay
As part of the restructuring of the infantry announced in 2004, the Royal Welsh Regiment became the TA battalion of the new amalgamated regiment of Wales, the Royal Welsh, on the 1st March 2006.
