Queen's Regiment Memorials

Listed below are the locations of Memorials dedicated to the fallen of our Regiment & Forebears


Queen's Regiment Memorial WallThe Queen's Regiment Memorial - Leros Barracks

The Memorial Wall is dedicated to all who served in The Queen’s Regiment, particularly those who died as a result of terrorist action.

It incorporates a cartouche of King George III used from 1801 to 1816. The central royal cypher originally sat above the entrance to the Officers' Mess, Wemyss and Infantry Barracks, Canterbury and was later displayed in the original Queen's Regimental Museum before being incorporated into this memorial.

First dedicated on Sobraon Day, 10 February 1995 by the Ven. Peter Mallett and unveiled on 10th February 1995 by Maj Gen Fergus Ling, the inscription on the memorial reads "1966 - 1992 Dedicated to the memory of all those who served in The Queen's Regiment especially the following who died on operations or as a result of terrorist action".

It stood outside the Regimental Headquarters at Howe Barracks, until its closure in February 2015 when it was moved.

On 3 May 2015, It was rededicated at a ceremony in Leros Barracks, by Canon Paul Kerr of Rochester Cathedral and was attended by serving personel and veterans of the Regiment.

Omagh memorial

Omagh Memorial

This window was commissioned following a decision by CO Lt Col Paddy Panton, that in addition to commemorating the Omagh tour, it would also be dedicated to Pte Biddle of the ACC who lost his life whilst attached to the 1st Battalion.

Money was raised by a number of members of the Battalion, who ran the Belfast Marathon in1983. Upon the closure of Lisanelly Barracks, the Regiment, along with the family, agreed that the window would go to the ACC Depot in Worthy Down near Winchester where it would be preserved and Pte Biddle would be honoured.
