The Royal Anglian Regiment is the British Army’s regiment of infantry which covers the ten counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Essex, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and Rutland.
Each of these counties had its own regiment at one time or another, some tracing their history back to 1685. With the size of the Army reducing in the mid 20th Century various amalgamations took place to form the 1st East Anglian Regiment (1959), the 2nd East Anglian Regiment (1960), and the 3rd East Anglian Regiment (1958).
These three regiments, together with the Royal Leicestershire Regiment, were, in turn, amalgamated to form the Royal Anglian Regiment on 1 September 1964.

As a long time former Canadian solider I’m embarrassed to say I’d never heard of this regiment. Then I came across a KZbin video of them parading through Norwich. Their marching and arms drill was the best I’ve ever seen. The takeaway was that these guys are well trained professional soldiers.

I've been attached on ops as medical staff to PARA Reg, Light Infantry (pre Rifles) and the Vikings. Can honestly say the Vikings were hand down the best to work with. Attached C (Essex) Company on Herrick 6 in 2007. Welcomed, not treated as an outsider and valued for skills and expertise.

I’m definitely joining this regiment when I’m old enough although I’m Australian I want to move to England very soon I’m saving up. My Nanna was from Suffolk so this makes me very patriotic

You're meant to be patriotic to your country of birth, not your grandmother's country of birth.
