Did you know? The Gloucestershire Regiment, affectionately known as the "Glosters," has a rich and storied history in the British Army, dating back to 1694! Originally formed from Colonel Gibson's Regiment of Foot, the Glosters were renowned for their unique distinction of wearing a badge on both the front and back of their headdress—a tradition earned in the Battle of Alexandria in 1801. Key Highlights: • Merged from the 28th (North Gloucestershire) and 61st (South Gloucestershire) Regiments of Foot. • Fought valiantly in both World Wars, from the trenches of France to the jungles of Burma. • Earned the nickname "The Glorious Glosters" during the Korean War for their heroic stand at the Battle of the Imjin River, receiving the prestigious Presidential Unit Citation. From the battlefields of Europe to the far reaches of Asia, the Glosters have left a lasting legacy of bravery and service. #MilitaryHeritage #GloriousGlosters #BritishArmy #SoldiersOfGlos #HistoricalLegacy (fb)
