Wiltshire Regiment (Duke of Edinburgh's Own)

Regimental History  & Contact Information


At the start of World War I, the Wiltshire Regiment, like most of the rest of the British Army, consisted of two regular battalions (1st and 2nd), a reserve battalion (3rd), and a Territorial Force battalion. Eventually, the Wiltshire Regiment expanded to ten battalions, seven of which served overseas. These included three additional Territorial Force battalions (1/4th, 2/4th, and 3/4th Battalions) as well as four service battalions (5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th battalions) formed for the Kitchener Army formations. Pictured right is the Wiltshire Regiment during the Battle of the Somme.


Are you interested in joining the regiment? There are a few things you need to do. You must download Teamspeak and add any of the officers on Steam. Then, you have to join our Teamspeak at atl01.mainvoice.net:7007. Everything else will be discussed via Teamspeak.
