List of battalions of the Durham Light Infantry : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of battalions of the Durham Light Infantry
This is a list of battalions of the Durham Light Infantry, which existed as a regiment of the British Army from 1881 to 1968. ==Original composition==
When the 68th Regiment of Foot and the 106th Regiment of Foot became the Durham Light Infantry (DLI) in 1881 under the Cardwell-Childers reforms of the British Armed Forces, seven pre-existing militia and volunteer battalions of County Durham were integrated into the structure of the DLI. These latter battalions had existed intermittently for some time, but had been made permanent in reaction to a perceived threat of invasion by France the late 1850s.〔Beckett p. 164〕〔Ward pp. 10-22〕〔Vane pp.288-297〕 The militia, in two battalions, were more appealing to the working classes as the equipment was government funded, while the volunteers were organised as "rifle volunteer corps", independent of the British Army, financially self-supporting and composed primarily of the middle class, they underwent a number of reorganisations before reaching the form in which they were incorporated into the county regiment.〔Ward pp. 252-263〕〔Vane pp. 297-298〕〔Vane pp.304-306〕 In December 1887 the Durham Rifle Volunteer Battalions were renamed as Volunteer Battalions of the Durham Light Infantry retaining their numbers.〔Vane p. 307〕
