The Middlesex Regiment (Duke of Cambridge's Own) was a line infantry regiment of the British Army in existence from 1881 until 1966. In 1948, the regiment was reduced to a single regular battalion (the 1st) and two territorial battalions (the 7th and 8th). From August 1950 to April 1951, the 1st battalion saw action in the Korean War as part of 27th British Commonwealth Brigade, being one of the first British units to be deployed there.Category
