Date:1923
Description:Under an armistice between Greece and Turkey in 1922, Eastern Thrace (including Istanbul – formerly Constantinople), which had been taken over by Greece at the end of the Great War, was to be returned to the Turks. This resulted in considerable civilian disorder and the North Staffords were moved from Gibraltar to maintain order until the Turks were in full control. Through its history the Staffordshire Regiment has been involved in many campaigns and wars and has been stationed in many parts of the world. Formerly called the North and South Staffordshire Regiments, the two were amalgamated in January 1959. The Regiment is based at Whittington Barracks, near Lichfield.
