The Regiment’s contribution to the maintenance of peace during the Cold War included both the 1st and 4th Battalions. In all the Regiment was to complete a total of nine operational tours in the Province, in the course of which eight soldiers were killed in action. Only six weeks after formation, the 1st Battalion was on active service in Northern Ireland. It carried more battle honours on its Colours than any other infantry unit in the Army, and also was able proudly to claim that it was the only regiment, from any army, ever, which had fought on every one of the World’s inhabited continents. Through it’s antecedent corps, the new regiment could trace its history back in an unbroken line to the creation of the modern British Army in 1689.
