Editing Queen's Regiment (section)

==Formation==
The regiment was formed as a '[[large regiment]]' on 31 December 1966 by the amalgamation of the four remaining regiments of the [[Home Counties Brigade]] as a consequence of the [[1957 Defence White Paper|Defence Review of 1957]]. The four regiments formed four battalions, retaining their previous names in the titles.  In addition, the former regiment's Territorial battalions transferred under their former titles to the corps of the regiment for a short time.  Below is a list of the regiment's subordinate organisations with formation dates, predecessor and successors.  Battalion subtitles were omitted on 1 July 1968.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|date=2007-11-28|title=The Queen's Regiment (UK)|url=http://www.regiments.org/regiments/uk/inf/002queens.htm|access-date=2021-04-07|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071128030133/http://www.regiments.org/regiments/uk/inf/002queens.htm|archive-date=2007-11-28}}</ref>
