The Royal Sussex Regiment

The Royal Sussex Regiment was an infantry unit of the British Army, formed in 1881 by merging local battalions from Sussex. It served in various conflicts, including the World Wars, known for its resilience and local connections. The regiment was responsible for defending Britain and participating in overseas campaigns. In 1959, it was merged into the Queen's Sussex Regiment, reflecting post-war military reorganization. The Royal Sussex Regiment holds a proud history of bravery, and its soldiers were often linked closely to the community of Sussex.
