East And West Riding Regiment

The East and West Riding Regiment is a regiment of the British Territorial Army.

History

The Regiment was formed in 1999 by the amalgamation of 3rd Battalion, Prince of Wales's Own Regiment of Yorkshire (Yorkshire Volunteers), 3rd Battalion, The Duke of Wellington's Regiment (Yorkshire Volunteers) and the King's Own Yorkshire Yeomanry (Light Infantry) due to the reforms implemented in consequence of the Strategic Defence Review. The HQ is based at Pontefract and the Regiment, part of 15 (North East) Brigade, is comprised of 5 companies:
  • Ypres Company (Duke of Wellington's Regiment)
  • Fontenay Company (Duke of Wellington's Regiment)
  • Quebec Company (Prince of Wales's Own Regiment of Yorkshire)
  • Imphal Company (Prince of Wales's Own Regiment of Yorkshire)
  • Minden Company (Light Infantry)
In November 2004 the Regiment dispatched a composite company (Normandy Company) to Basra, Iraq as part of 4 Armoured Brigade of the Multi-National Division (South East) for a 6-month tour-of-duty.
