Some History ...

The regiment was formerly called the 3rd Regiment of Foot, and was an infantry line regiment of the British Army until 1961. It's history dates back to 1572 and it was one of the oldest regiments in the British Army being third in order of precedence (ranked as the 3rd Regiment of the line). It provided distinguished service over a period of almost four hundred years accumulating one hundred and sixteen battle honors. In 1881, under the Childers Reforms, it was known as the Buffs (East Kent Regiment) and later, on 3 June 1935, was renamed the Buffs (Royal East Kent Regiment). In WWII the 1st Battalion served in many different brigades and divisions, mainly with British Indian Army units, and fought in many different battles and campaigns such as the North African Campaign, the Italian Campaign and the Battle of Anzio when they were a part of 18th Infantry Brigade, assigned to the 1st Infantry Division where they were involved in some of the fiercest fighting of the war. Following a series of amalgamations since 1961 its lineage is today continued by the Princess of Wales' Royal Regiment. ... An excellent display item.
