By 1920 the regular battalions were as they
had been in August 1914: with the 2nd Battalion at home and
the 1st Battalion in India.
In 1920-21 the 2nd Battalion saw service in
troubled Ireland, while 1923-24 found the 1st Battalion on
active service against Waziris on the North West Frontier.
In 1927, 1 Welch moved back to the United Kingdom via Aden,
while 2 Welch embarked for Shanghai and duty with the China
Defence Force. From China, 2 Welch moved on to India after
service at Singapore, where in 1935 the battalion served at
Landi Kotal on the North West Frontier. At the close of 1938,
the 1st Battalion was stationed at Belfast and the 2nd Battalion
at Agra in India.
