History

The King's Division was formed in 1968 with the union of the Lancastrian Brigade, Yorkshire Brigade and North Irish Brigade. The depot was established at Queen Elizabeth II Barracks in Strensall.[1]

Under the restructuring announced in 2004, the King's Division was reorganized into two large regiments:[2]

The King's Division therefore now comprises the following infantry battalions:[3]

In addition, the King's Division also maintains a single regular army band titled the Band of the King's Division. The Band was formed through the amalgamation of two former divisional bands, the Normandy Band and the Waterloo Band.[4]
