The Royal Lincolnshire Regiment was a line infantry regiment of the British Army raised on 20 June 1685 as the Earl of Bath's Regiment for its first Colonel, John Granville, 1st Earl of Bath. In 1751, it was numbered like most other Army regiments and named the 10th (North Lincoln) Regiment of Foot. After the Childers Reforms of 1881, it became the Lincolnshire Regiment after the county where it had been recruiting since 1781.
After the
History
Early wars
The regiment was raised on 20 June 1685 as the Earl of Bath's Regiment for its first Colonel,
During the 1701 to 1714 War of the Spanish Succession, the regiment fought at Blenheim in August 1704,[6] Ramillies in May 1706,[7] and Malplaquet in September 1709.[8] Following the 1751 reforms, when all British regiments were identified by numbers rather than their Colonel's name, it became the 10th Regiment of Foot.[9] It then took part in the 1759-60 action to repel Thurot at Carrickfergus during the Seven Years' War.[10]
The regiment would next see action in the American Revolutionary War, fighting at the Battles of Lexington and Concord in April 1775,[11] the Battle of Bunker Hill in June 1775,[12] the New York Campaign in winter 1776,[13] the Battle of Germantown in October 1777,[14] the Battle of Monmouth in June 1778 and the Battle of Rhode Island in August 1778.[15] In 1778, the 10th returned home to England after 19 years service overseas.[16] In 1782, the regiment was linked to the county of Lincolnshire for recruiting.[9]
Napoleonic Wars
The regiment embarked for Egypt in 1800 for service in the French Revolutionary Wars and took part in the Battle of Alexandria in March 1801.[17] The 2nd battalion then took part in the disastrous Walcheren Campaign in autumn 1809.[18] Meanwhile, the 1st battalion embarked for Spain in 1812 for service in the Peninsular War and took part in the Battle of Castalla in April 1813 and the Siege of Tarragona in June 1813.[19]

The Royal North Lincolnshire and Royal South Lincolnshire Militia regiments became the 3rd and 4th Battalions, and the 1st and 2nd Lincolnshire Rifle Volunteer Corps became the 1st and 2nd Volunteer Battalions (a 3rd Volunteer Battalion was added in 1900).[29][30] The 1st Battalion Lincolnshire Regiment was posted at Malta from 1895, and took part in the Battle of Omdurman in September 1898 during the Mahdist War. It was then stationed in British India, where it was in Bangalore until late 1902 when it transferred to Secunderabad.[31] The 2nd Battalion embarked for South Africa in January 1900 and saw action during the Second Boer War.[32]
The 3rd (Militia) battalion, formed from the Royal North Lincoln Militia in 1881, was a reserve battalion. It was embodied in May 1900, disembodied in July the following year, and later re-embodied for service in South Africa during the Second Boer War. 17 officers and 519 men returned aboard Cestrian, arriving in Southampton on 5 October 1902.[33]

Post-war years
After the war, the 4th and 6th battalions were placed in 'suspended animation' in 1946 but were both reformed on 1 January 1947. However, on 1 July 1950, the 6th was merged with the 4th to create the 4th/6th Battalion.[73] On 28 October 1948, the 2nd Battalion was amalgamated with the 1st Battalion.[74]
The Royal Lincolnshire Regiment and its successors maintained its relationship with the Bermuda Volunteer Rifle Corps (renamed the Bermuda Rifles in 1949) after the Second World War. When the Bermuda Militia Artillery (a reserve sub-unit of the
In 1960, the regiment amalgamated with the Northamptonshire Regiment to form the 2nd East Anglian Regiment (Duchess of Gloucester's Own Royal Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire) which was later amalgamated with the 1st East Anglian Regiment (Royal Norfolk and Suffolk), 3rd East Anglian Regiment (16th/44th Foot) and the Royal Leicestershire Regiment in September 1964 to form the Royal Anglian Regiment.[81]
The Royal Lincolnshire Regiment's paternal relationship to the Bermuda Rifles and the Bermuda Local Forces was continued by the 2nd East Anglian Regiment (Duchess of Gloucester's Own Royal Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire) and the Royal Anglian Regiment until the three Bermudian company-sized units amalgamated in 1965 to form the Bermuda Regiment (from 2015 the Royal Bermuda Regiment), with the relationship maintained since then between the Royal Anglian Regiment and the Royal Bermuda Regiment.[82]
Currently, 674 Squadron Army Air Corps uses the sphinx as an emblem within its crest in honour of its local connections with the Royal Lincolnshire Regiment.[83]
Regimental museum
The Royal Lincolnshire Regiment and Lincolnshire Yeomanry collections are displayed in Lincoln's Museum of Lincolnshire Life.[84] Artefacts concerning the Bermuda Volunteer Rifle Corps contingents that served with the Lincolnshires during the two world wars are displayed in the Bermuda Maritime Museum (part of the British Overseas Territory's territorial museum) in the Royal Naval Dockyard, Bermuda.[85][86]

The Niobe's first operational assignment on October 22, 1914, took her to the northward, where she cruised about among icebergs off the Strait of Belle Isle, trying to intercept a German cruiser which had been reported to be in the Gulf, but which turned out to have been a myth. Her second mission was as an escort. The first armed force to leave Canada during the war was the Royal Canadian Regiment — the only infantry regiment in the Permanent Force — which was detailed to relieve the 2nd Battalion of the Lincolnshire Regiment on garrison duty in Bermuda. They sailed in the transport Canada with Niobe escorting, to arrive at Bermuda on September 13. The Canada reached Halifax on her return journey with the Lincolnshires on board on September 18, the Niobe again acting as escort.

Details of the fight at Neuve Chapelle are filtering through. It was a British victory in the fullest sense It cost dearly; and in the roll of honour is inscribed the name of Colonel McAndrew of the Lincolnshire Regiment who was Acting Governor of Bermuda at the outbreak of the war. When his regiment was summoned home the Corporation of Hamilton presented an address, to which Colonel McAndrew replied, and expressed the hope that they might be sent to the front to assist in carrying freedom and justice into Berlin. He has done his duty like a British officer and this little Colony will long cherish his memory.

Now that practically all our soldiers have returned, we have learned the secret of enthusiasm and the art of cheering.
When the "Caraquet" came alongside yesterday, by far the greatest crowd that has ever assembled to meet returning soldiers (with the exception of the occasion of the home coming of the B.C.R.G.A.) was ready to do the honours.
Front St. was alive with people, the sheds were packed, and to add to the excitement, the road roller chose that particular time to pass by the numerous horses.
Sir Thomas greeted the heroes on behalf of the Colony, a compliment that is appreciated by all, but in addition to tins official welcome, quite an unusual number of prominent military men and civilians were present to honour the occasion.
Sir Thomas Wadson spoke as follows:
Each one was addressed by name in order of military rank, and then followed, as under.
"We greet you right warmly on your return from the battle front where you have taken part in the greatest and most terrible war known to history, where you have aided each in his -place in bringing about the complete victory won by Great Britain and her Allies, over an enemy who sought to dominate the world, and crush it under the heel of Prussian Militarism. Happily the designs of the enemy have been frustrated, happily the world is now again at peace and you are able to return, some with decorations on which we congratulate those who have received them, and we congratulate all of you on having thus done your duty faithfully in the cause of freedom and justice, and we cordially welcome you to your homes and kindred."
The returning soldiers were:—lieuts. C. Nelmes, R.A.F. Late attached to Somerset Light Inf. and F. Paterson. Sergt. Major Morgan and wife, Sergt. Mullin, Sergt Baker, Sergt. Churm, M.M. and wife, Sergt. Madeiros M.M. and wife. Ptes. J. A. Smith, G. Sullivan, R.C. Wilson, M.M., all of the B.V.R.C. Sergt. Sweeney, 38 Canada, Pte. Fox.
