Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers

The most senior regiment in the British Army, having given continuous loyal service to the crown since 1539, now part of the Reserve forces (the Territorial Army). It is not the oldest regiment in the British Army, this honour goes to the Honourable Artillery Company (1537) but that unit has not given continuous loyal service to the crown, having fought for Parliament in the English Civil War. The regiment is also unique in having the word Royal appear twice in its name.
