The collection records the services of the regular infantry in South Wales, namely the Welch Regiment (1719-1969) and more recently the Royal Regiment of Wales (1969-2006). In addition the collection also covers the services of the Glamorgan militia and the auxiliary land forces of South Wales (1757-1969) which includes the Infantry, the Rifle Volunteers, Territorials and the Yeomanry Cavalry.

The Museum of the Welch Regiment closed during the summer 2009. It has now has re-opened as 'FIRING LINE: The Cardiff Castle Museum of the Welsh Soldier' and displays many items from the regimental collection.

The Welch Regiment archives and records have been moved to our other regimental museum in Brecon. Research enquiries and access to the museum shop should to be directed to swb@rrw.org.uk or telephone 01874 613310 or click on Contact Us
