The South Lancashire Regiment was a British infantry regiment comprised of the former 40th Regiment of Foot and the 82nd Regiment of Foot.
The regiment was the first large regiment of infantry to be formed in the British Army and comprises two regular battalions, the 1st (nicknamed the Vikings) and the 2nd (the Poachers) and two Territorial Army battalions, the 6th and 7th (the Tigers).
The Regiment was especially favoured by King George IV and, with the appointment of the Duke of Wellington as its Colonel, was elevated to the status of Household Cavalry in 1820.
