This regiment was formed as The Prince of Wales’s (North Staffordshire) Regiment during the 1881 Army reforms by merging the 64th (2nd Staffordshire) Regiment of Foot and the 98th (The Prince of Wales’s) Regiment of Foot. These became the new unit’s 1st and 2nd Battalions respectively.
The 2nd Battalion was in India at the time of the amalgamation. It only returned to Britain in 1888, having fought in the Zhob Valley expedition in 1884. It also served in the Boer War (1899-1902), before another Indian posting from 1903 onwards.
