Date:1900 - 1902 (c.)
Description:After the outbreak of the Boer War in 1899, the 4th (Militia) Battalion, North Staffords, was ‘embodied’ in January 1900 and arrived in South Africa in March, serving there until May 1902. For much of that time it was guarding the railway lines, including the station at Wellington. 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.
