On
1st July 1958 the East Lancashire and South Lancashire Regiments
amalgamated to form The Lancashire Regiment (Prince of Wales's
Volunteers).
In its short life the
Regiment served in Hong Kong, Germany, Swaziland, Cyprus, and Malta.
However it is justifiably best remembered for the distinguished role it
played in 1967, during the final months of the bitter
anti-terrorist campaign in Aden, where its officers and men received
more operational and gallantry awards than any other unit.
On 25th March 1970
the Regiment amalgamated with The Loyal Regiment (North Lancashire), to form The
Queen's Lancashire Regiment. |
