The Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment is the infantry regiment of the North West of England.

The regiment was formed on 1st July 2006, by the amalgamation of

The King’s Own Royal Border Regiment, The King’s Regiment, and The Queen’s Lancashire Regiment. The Regimental Headquarters are based at Fulwood Barracks, Preston, Lancashire. Private soldiers inherited the rank of Kingsman from The King's Regiment. The cap badge is a Lancaster rose in a Fontenoy laurel surmounted by a crown. At the base is a scroll with the motto Nec Aspera Terrent (Difficulties be Damned). The regiment's Colonel-in-Chief was HM The Queen, who concurrently held the title Duke of Lancaster. We recruit soldiers from the North West, but also nationwide and the Commonwealth. We have a very strong history and proud tradition dating back to 1680 (4th of Foot).

20 years of The Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment.

At 1800 on 1st July, we’ll be marking our anniversary with the release of a new feature video, Kingsmen.

Formed in 2006 from three distinguished regiments, we’ve built our own identity over the past two decades without losing sight of where we came from.

Over the last 20 years, we have served our King, Country and communities with pride. This video is released in recognition of those who have served, their families, and all who are part of the Regimental family.

You can watch the video first by joining the YouTube Premiere.

Be there when it goes live.

1 LANCS vs Fusiliers

The first meeting between these two teams saw the Fusiliers host 1 LANCS at Linear Fisheries, where 1 LANCS came away victorious.

Now it's time for the return fixture, with 1 LANCS hosting the Fusiliers at Trent View Carp Fishery in Nottingham, from 8–10 June.

The team will be led by our Captain, Kgn Wheatcroft, and, with a bit of luck and plenty of determination, we're hoping to bring the trophy 🏆 home once again.

For further details, please contact OIC CSgt Parkinson.

Tight lines and good luck to all involved! 🎣
