Cap Badge - The Lincolnshire Regiment. The label on the board is incorrect. It is the The Lincolnshire Regiment not the The Royal Lincolnshire Regiment. The Royal Lincolnshire Regiment was a line infantry regiment 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 10 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 Second World War, it was honoured with the name Royal Lincolnshire Regiment, before being amalgamated in 1960 with the Northamptonshire Regiment to form the 2nd East Anglian Regiment which was later amalgamated with the 1st East Anglian Regiment, 3rd East Anglian Regiment and the Royal Leicestershire Regiment to form the Royal Anglian Regiment, of which 'B' Company of the 2nd Battalion continutes the traditions of the Royal Lincolns.
