2nd Essex Regiment

The 2nd Essex Regiment was an infantry unit of the British Army, established in the late 19th century as part of the county-based regimental system. It primarily recruited from Essex, a county in southeastern England. The regiment served in various campaigns, including both World Wars, and was known for its discipline and local connection. Over time, like many traditional regiments, it underwent reorganizations and amalgamations, eventually becoming part of larger units within the modern British Army structure. Its legacy includes notable service in defense of Britain and in overseas conflicts throughout its history.
