The newly formed Regiment engaged in various foreign campaigns including; Secunderabad (1886-1888), Burma (1888–1891), South African War (1899–1902), and two World Wars. In 1946 The Regiment was awarded the distinguished title of ‘Royal’. In 1992 The Regiment was merged with The Queen's Regiment to form The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment.
