Green Howards
The Green Howards is a historic infantry regiment of the British Army, originally formed in 1755. 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. The regiment's museum, located in Richmond, showcases its history, including medals, uniforms, and personal stories of soldiers who served. The regiment was amalgamated in 2006 but continues to be celebrated for its legacy.
