The Light Infantry
The regiment was formed on 10 July 1968 as a large regiment by the amalgamation of the four remaining light infantry regiments of the Light Infantry Brigade:
Somerset and Cornwall Light Infantry
King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry
King's Shropshire Light Infantry
Durham Light Infantry
On 31 March 1969 the 4th Battalion The Light Infantry (formerly The Durham Light Infantry) was disbanded leaving three regular battalions.
The regiment was active all through The Troubles in Northern Ireland with eight soldiers from the regiment killed in the Ballygawley bus bombing.
The remaining battalions remained in service until 1993 when they merged to form two battalions renamed 1st and 2nd Battalions.
