It was part of the Yorkshire Regiment and is known for its distinguished service in various conflicts, including the Napoleonic Wars and both World Wars. The regiment's name is derived from the green uniforms worn by its soldiers. The Green Howards have a rich heritage, with a strong connection to the local community in North Yorkshire.
