  Editor Peter Green

  The Arroyo drums are fundamental to the military heritage of Cumbria. Captured from The French 34ème Regiment by the `Cumberland Gentlemen’ durIng a surprise attack on a French column at Arroyo Molinos in southern Spain In October 1811, They have pride of place In The Museum and In The hearts of our soldiers right up to The present day. The 55th Foot who in 1873 Joined The 34th and In 1881 became The 2nd Battalion of The Border Regiment, fought In The 1st China War of 1841-42 and captured an Imperial Chinese Dragon Standard. The Border Regiment badge had a Chinese Imperial Dragon on a red and white centre; The colours a memory of the tuft worn after Arroyo Molinos.

  In the First World War The Border Regiment served on the Western Front, in Italy, Gallipoli and Salonika. In The Second World War the 1st Battalion became airborne troops and landed In Sicily and at Arnhem. Other battalions fought In France, The Middle East and The Western Desert and three fought in Burma as part of the 14th Army.

  The Border Regiment amalgamated with The King’s Own Royal Regiment (Lancaster) In 1959 to form The King’s Own Royal Border Regiment (KORBR). The Regiment served In the UK and all over the world, Including ten tours of Northern Ireland.
