The Green Howards (Alexandra, Princess of Wales's Own Yorkshire Regiment), frequently known as the Yorkshire Regiment until the 1920s,<a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a> was a <a href="Line_infantry" title="Line infantry">line infantry</a> <a href="Regiment" title="Regiment">regiment</a> of the <a href="British_Army" title="British Army">British Army</a>, in the <a href="King's_Division" title="King's Division">King's Division</a>. Raised in 1688, it served under various titles until it was amalgamated with the <a href="Prince_of_Wales's_Own_Regiment_of_Yorkshire" title="Prince of Wales's Own Regiment of Yorkshire">Prince of Wales's Own Regiment of Yorkshire</a> and the <a href="Duke_of_Wellington's_Regiment" title="Duke of Wellington's Regiment">Duke of Wellington's Regiment (West Riding)</a>, all Yorkshire-based regiments in the King's Division, to form the <a href="Royal_Yorkshire_Regiment" title="Royal Yorkshire Regiment">Yorkshire Regiment (14th/15th, 19th and 33rd/76th Foot)</a> on 6 June 2006.

The regiment was formed during the 1688 <a href="Glorious_Revolution" title="Glorious Revolution">Glorious Revolution</a> from independent companies raised in <a href="Somerset" title="Somerset">Somerset</a> by <a href="Colonel_(United_Kingdom)#Colonel_of_the_Regiment" title="Colonel (United Kingdom)">Colonel</a> <a href="Francis_Luttrell_(1659%E2%80%931690)" title="Francis Luttrell (1659–1690)">Francis Luttrell</a>, to support <a href="William_III_of_England" title="William III of England">William III</a>.<a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> In 1690, it supplied detachments for <a href="Williamite_War_in_Ireland" title="Williamite War in Ireland">Ireland</a> and <a href="Jamaica" title="Jamaica">Jamaica</a>, incurring heavy losses from disease, including Luttrell who was replaced by <a href="Thomas_Erle" title="Thomas Erle">Thomas Erle</a>. Transferred to <a href="Flanders" title="Flanders">Flanders</a> in early 1692 during the <a href="Nine_Years'_War" title="Nine Years' War">Nine Years' War</a>, it was present at the battles of <a href="Battle_of_Steenkerque" title="Battle of Steenkerque">Steenkerque</a> and <a href="Battle_of_Landen" title="Battle of Landen">Landen</a>, as well as the <a href="Siege_of_Namur_(1695)" title="Siege of Namur (1695)">Siege of Namur</a>.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a> after the 1697 <a href="Peace_of_Ryswick" title="Peace of Ryswick">Peace of Ryswick</a>, it escaped disbandment by being made part of the Irish garrison, where it remained until the <a href="War_of_the_Spanish_Succession" title="War of the Spanish Succession">War of the Spanish Succession</a> began in 1702.<a href="#cite_note-19th_Foot;_the_Yorkshire_Regiment-5">[5]</a>

In 1703, it was part of an expeditionary force in the <a href="West_Indies" title="West Indies">West Indies</a> and <a href="Newfoundland" class="mw-redirect" title="Newfoundland">Newfoundland</a>, losing many men to disease before returning to Ireland in 1704. Back in Flanders in 1710, it took part in the sieges of <a href="Douai" title="Douai">Douai</a> and <a href="Siege_of_Bouchain_(1711)" title="Siege of Bouchain (1711)">Bouchain</a> and <a href="Peace_of_Utrecht" title="Peace of Utrecht">when the war ended in 1713</a>, it resumed garrison duties in Ireland. With the exception of the <a href="Capture_of_Vigo" class="mw-redirect" title="Capture of Vigo">1719 Vigo expedition</a>, it did not see action again until 1744.<a href="#cite_note-19th_Foot;_the_Yorkshire_Regiment-5">[5]</a>

When the <a href="War_of_the_Austrian_Succession" title="War of the Austrian Succession">War of the Austrian Succession</a> began in 1740, the regiment was based in <a href="Edinburgh" title="Edinburgh">Edinburgh</a>; by 1744, many of its men were Scots and recruiting officers warned to exclude 'Jacobites and Irish Papists.'<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a> The unit was then commanded by <a href="Charles_Howard_(British_Army_officer)" title="Charles Howard (British Army officer)">Charles Howard</a> and thus known as 'Howard's Regiment'; when it joined the army in Flanders, this clashed with another regiment also commanded by a Howard. To avoid confusion, they were referred to by the colour of their <a href="Facings" class="mw-redirect" title="Facings">facings</a>, one becoming 'Green Howards' and the other, '<a href="Buffs_(Royal_East_Kent_Regiment)" title="Buffs (Royal East Kent Regiment)">Buff Howards</a>'.<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a>

The Green Howards fought at the <a href="Battle_of_Fontenoy" title="Battle of Fontenoy">Battle of Fontenoy</a> in May 1745, with a short period in England during the <a href="Jacobite_rising_of_1745" title="Jacobite rising of 1745">1745 Jacobite Rising</a>. It took part in the <a href="Battle_of_Rocoux" title="Battle of Rocoux">Battle of Rocoux</a> and the <a href="Battle_of_Lauffeld" title="Battle of Lauffeld">Battle of Lauffeld</a> before the 1748 <a href="Treaty_of_Aix-la-Chapelle_(1748)" title="Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle (1748)">Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle</a> ended the war, after which it became part of the garrison of <a href="Gibraltar" title="Gibraltar">Gibraltar</a>.<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> While there, the 1751 army reforms retitled it the 19th Regiment of Foot.<a href="#cite_note-regiments-9">[9]</a> It returned to Britain in 1752 and spent most of the next decade on garrison duty in Scotland and Northern England.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a>

During the 1756 to 1763 <a href="Seven_Years'_War" title="Seven Years' War">Seven Years' War</a>, it took part in the <a href="Capture_of_Belle_%C3%8Ele" title="Capture of Belle Île">capture of Belle Île</a> in April 1761, where it suffered over 200 casualties. Officer recruitment was challenging as the cost of purchasing a commission in the 19th Foot was very high. This led to severe shortages in middling and senior ranks, with a total of 15 officer positions vacant during the assault on Belle Île including five captains and the regimental major.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> When peace was declared the regiment was reassigned to garrison duty in Gibraltar and Scotland. Its next active service was not until 1781 when it took part in a disastrous southern campaign in the closing stages of the <a href="American_Revolutionary_War" title="American Revolutionary War">American Revolutionary War</a>.<a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> In 1782, all foot regiments without a special designation were given a county title "to cultivate a connection with the County which might at all times be useful towards recruiting"<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> and so the regiment was redesignated the 19th (1st North Riding of Yorkshire) Regiment.<a href="#cite_note-regiments-9">[9]</a>

With the end of the American War, the regiment was stationed in Jamaica, a notoriously unhealthy posting where it was common for units to lose 100% of their strength every two years.<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> It remained there until 1791, when it returned to Britain; in 1796, it was posted to India, the also saw action at the <a href="Siege_of_Seringapatam_(1799)" title="Siege of Seringapatam (1799)">Siege of Seringapatam</a> in April 1799 during the <a href="Fourth_Anglo-Mysore_War" title="Fourth Anglo-Mysore War">Fourth Anglo-Mysore War</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Cannon,_p._19-15">[15]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_Two_Howards">The Two Howards</h3></div>

The regiment was known as the Green Howards from 1744. At that time, regiments were known by the name of their colonel. The 19th regiment's colonel was Hon. <a href="Charles_Howard_(British_Army_officer)" title="Charles Howard (British Army officer)">Sir Charles Howard</a>. However, at the same time, the 3rd Regiment of Foot had been commanded by its colonel <a href="Thomas_Howard_(British_Army_officer%2C_born_1684)" title="Thomas Howard (British Army officer, born 1684)">Thomas Howard</a>, since 1737. To tell them apart (since they both would have been known as 'Howard's Regiment of Foot'), the colours of their uniform facings were used to distinguish them. In this way, one became 'Howard's Buffs' (eventually simply <a href="Buffs_(Royal_East_Kent_Regiment)" title="Buffs (Royal East Kent Regiment)">The Buffs</a>), while the other became the Green Howards. Although the Green Howards were referred to unofficially as such from then on, it was not until 1921 that the regiment was officially retitled as the Green Howards (Alexandra, Princess of Wales's Own Yorkshire Regiment).<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a> Under the <a href="Childers_Reforms" title="Childers Reforms">Childers Reforms</a>, all non-royal English infantry regiments were to wear white facings from 1881. In 1899, the regiment was able to reverse this decision with the restoration of the grass green facings formerly worn by the 19th Foot.<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Kandyan_Wars">Kandyan Wars</h3></div>

In April 1801 the regiment was deployed to <a href="Sri_Lanka" title="Sri Lanka">Ceylon</a> for service in the <a href="Kandyan_Wars" title="Kandyan Wars">Kandyan Wars</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Cannon,_p._19-15">[15]</a> The regiment lost six officers and 172 other ranks in a massacre there in June 1803 and then remained on the island to enforce British rule.<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a> The regiment did not return to England until May 1820.<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_Victorian_era">The Victorian era</h3></div>

The regiment saw action at the <a href="Battle_of_Alma" class="mw-redirect" title="Battle of Alma">Battle of Alma</a> in September 1854 and at the <a href="Siege_of_Sevastopol_(1854%E2%80%9355)" class="mw-redirect" title="Siege of Sevastopol (1854–55)">Siege of Sevastopol</a> in winter 1854 during the <a href="Crimean_War" title="Crimean War">Crimean War</a> and then saw action again during the <a href="Indian_Rebellion_of_1857" title="Indian Rebellion of 1857">Indian Rebellion</a>.<a href="#cite_note-nam-20">[20]</a> In 1875, <a href="Alexandra_of_Denmark" title="Alexandra of Denmark">Princess Alexandra, Princess of Wales</a> presented new colours to the 1st Battalion at <a href="Sheffield" title="Sheffield">Sheffield</a>, and consented to the regiment bearing her name, thus becoming the 19th (1st Yorkshire North Riding – Princess of Wales's Own) Regiment of Foot.<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a> The regiment adopted a <a href="Cap_badge" title="Cap badge">cap badge</a> consisting of the Princess's cypher "A" combined with the <a href="Flag_of_Denmark" class="mw-redirect mw-disambig" title="Flag of Denmark">Dannebrog</a> or Danish cross and topped by her coronet. The Princess became Queen Alexandra in 1901, and was the regiment's Colonel-in-Chief from 1914 until her death in 1925.<a href="#cite_note-evolution-22">[22]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Childers_Reforms">Childers Reforms</h3></div>

The regiment was not fundamentally affected by the <a href="Cardwell_Reforms" title="Cardwell Reforms">Cardwell Reforms</a> of the 1870s, which gave it a depot at <a href="Richmond_Barracks%2C_North_Yorkshire" title="Richmond Barracks, North Yorkshire">Richmond Barracks</a> in <a href="North_Yorkshire" title="North Yorkshire">North Yorkshire</a> from 1873, or by the <a href="Childers_reforms" class="mw-redirect" title="Childers reforms">Childers reforms</a> of 1881 – as it already possessed two battalions, there was no need for it to amalgamate with another regiment.<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> Under the reforms the regiment amalgamated with the <a href="Militia" title="Militia">militia</a> battalions and <a href="Volunteer_Force_(Great_Britain)" class="mw-redirect" title="Volunteer Force (Great Britain)">rifle volunteers</a> in its designated regimental district and became The Princess of Wales's Own (Yorkshire Regiment) on 1 July 1881.<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a>

The 1st battalion was stationed at <a href="Nova_Scotia" title="Nova Scotia">Nova Scotia</a> from 1884, moved to the Mediterranean in 1888 where it was stationed at <a href="Malta" title="Malta">Malta</a> but also saw action in Egypt, then moved to <a href="Jersey" title="Jersey">Jersey</a> in 1895 followed by Ireland in 1898. After a brief spell in <a href="Gibraltar" title="Gibraltar">Gibraltar</a> in 1899, the battalion was posted to South Africa as reinforcement for the <a href="Second_Boer_War" title="Second Boer War">Second Boer War</a>, where it was involved in the <a href="Relief_of_Kimberley" class="mw-redirect" title="Relief of Kimberley">Relief of Kimberley</a> and the battles of <a href="Battle_of_Diamond_Hill" title="Battle of Diamond Hill">Diamond Hill</a> (June 1900) and <a href="Battle_of_Belfast" class="mw-redirect" title="Battle of Belfast">Belfast</a> (August 1900). The battalion returned to the United Kingdom in September 1902.<a href="#cite_note-Hart-25">[25]</a>

The 2nd battalion was in Ireland from 1881 to 1886, when it returned to garrison back home in England. From early 1890 the battalion was stationed in <a href="British_Raj" title="British Raj">British India</a>, where it took part in military campaigns on the <a href="Military_history_of_the_North-West_Frontier" title="Military history of the North-West Frontier">North-West Frontier</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Hart-25">[25]</a> The battalion had various postings, including at <a href="Sitapur" title="Sitapur">Sitapur</a> and <a href="Benares" class="mw-redirect" title="Benares">Benares</a> until late 1902 when it was posted to <a href="Cawnpore" class="mw-redirect" title="Cawnpore">Cawnpore</a>.<a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a>

A 3rd (<a href="Militia_(United_Kingdom)" title="Militia (United Kingdom)">Militia</a>) Battalion, formed from the 5th West York Militia in 1881 was a reserve battalion. It was embodied in December 1899, and 700 men embarked on the SS Assaye in February 1900 for service in <a href="South_Africa" title="South Africa">South Africa</a> during the <a href="Second_Boer_War" title="Second Boer War">Second Boer War</a>.<a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a> Many of the officers and men returned home in May 1902 on the SS Sicilia.<a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a>

The 4th (Militia) Battalion, formed from the <a href="North_York_Rifle_Militia" title="North York Rifle Militia">North York Rifles</a> in 1881 was also a reserve battalion. It was embodied for service on 5 May 1900, disembodied on 2 July 1901, and re-embodied again for service during Second Boer War in South Africa. 555 officers and men returned to Southampton by the SS Tagus in October 1902, following the end of the war, and was disbanded at the Richmond barracks.<a href="#cite_note-29">[29]</a>

In July 1902, the regiment was redesignated as Alexandra, Princess of Wales's Own (Yorkshire Regiment).<a href="#cite_note-evolution-22">[22]</a><a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a>

In 1908, the Volunteers and Militia were reorganised nationally, with the former becoming the <a href="Territorial_Force" title="Territorial Force">Territorial Force</a> and the latter the <a href="Special_Reserve_(militia)" class="mw-redirect" title="Special Reserve (militia)">Special Reserve</a>;<a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a> the regiment now had one Reserve and two Territorial battalions.<a href="#cite_note-32">[32]</a><a href="#cite_note-regiments-9">[9]</a>

The precise date on which the regiment adopted the green facings from which it derived its name is uncertain, with yellow known to have been the colour of the lapels in 1709. However the official Cloathing Book of 1742 shows full green facings being worn on the standard <a href="Red_coat_(military_uniform)" title="Red coat (military uniform)">red coats</a> of the era. Thereafter the actual shade of the regimental colour changed at various times from yellow-green to a dull green. White facings were worn from 1881 until 1899 when green was restored. The remaining features of the Green Howard's uniform followed the normal British infantry progression from red coat to scarlet tunic to khaki <a href="Service_dress" class="mw-redirect" title="Service dress">service dress</a> and <a href="Battle_dress" class="mw-redirect" title="Battle dress">battle dress</a>.<a href="#cite_note-56">[56]</a>
