Royal Pembroke Militia
Military unit / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pembrokeshire Militia, later the Royal Pembroke Rifles, was an auxiliary[lower-alpha 1] regiment reorganised from earlier precursor units in the Welsh county of Pembrokeshire during the 18th Century. Primarily intended for home defence, it served in Britain and Ireland through all Britain's major wars. It was converted into garrison artillery in 1853 and continued until it was disbanded in 1909.
