Regiments and Corps of the British Army

The structure of British Army Regiments and Corps are complicated because of the number of amalgamations and changes that have taken place over the years (from the 17th Century).
The following Index is (in the process of!) being arranged into two Sections.
1.The Regular Army
2. The Territorial Army
Please be patient while I re-distribute the list! CJB
Geni Projects are being set up to accommodate the people who served in the Corps and Regiments of the British Army. The following listing is a summary of the various Regiments and Corps, both historical and current, with alongside them the current project to link people to. This is a work in progress and as new sub-projects are created any profiles linked to the current holding project will be re-located to the new project.
The purpose of this project is to locate the project to which a profile can be linked
As there are so many names listed the easiest way of locating a Corps or regiment is to use the "find on this page" tool on your computer
Alphabetical Listing of Corps and Regiments

The Army Reserve - (previously known as the Territorial Force, Territorial Army (TA) and the Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve (TAVR) from 1920 to 2014) - is the active-duty volunteer reserve force and integrated element of the British Army.
The Army Reserve was created not wholly a military institution. All TA soldiers are volunteers who have elected to serve with varying training commitments.
Set up as the Territorial Force in 1908 by the Secretary of State for War, Richard Haldane, when the Territorial and Reserve Forces Act 1907 combined the previously civilian-administered Volunteer Force, with the mounted Yeomanry (at the same time the Militia was renamed the Special Reserve). Most Volunteer infantry units had unique identities, but lost these in the reorganisation, becoming Territorial battalions of Regular Army infantry regiments. Some, notably the London, Monmouthshire and Hertfordshire Regiments maintained a separate identity.

The Infantry of the British Army comprises 47 infantry battalions, from 19 regiments. Of these, 33 battalions are part of the 'Regular' army and the remaining 14 a part of the 'Territorial' (reserve) force. The British Army's Infantry forms a highly flexible organisation, taking on a variety of roles, including armoured, mechanised, air assault and light.
The majority of the infantry in the British Army is divided for administrative purposes into five divisions. These are not the same as the ready and regenerative divisions (see below), but are based on either the geographical recruiting areas of the regiments, or the type of regiments:
- The Guards Division has the five regiments of Foot Guards.
- The Scottish Division has the remaining infantry regiment from Scotland.
- The King's Division has the regiments from the north of England.
- The Prince of Wales' Division has the regiments from the west of England and Wales.
- The Queen's Division has the regiments from the east of England and the remaining regiment of Fusiliers.
The Foot Guards are the Regular Infantry regiments of the Household Division of the British Army. There have been six active regiments of foot guards and one reserve regiment, five of which still exist. The Royal Guards Reserve Regiment was a reserve formation of the Household Brigade in existence from 1900 to 1901. The Machine Gun Guards, which was formed during the First World War, was disbanded in 1920:
- Grenadier Guards
- Coldstream Guards
- Scots Guards
- Irish Guards
- Welsh Guards
- Guards Machine Gun Regiment (Disbanded)
- Royal Guards Reserve Regiment
