Weihaiwei Regiment
The 1st Chinese Regiment, or the Weihaiwei Regiment was a British Army Regiment formed and disbanded in British Weihaiwei.
==Formation==
The 1st Chinese Regiment was created in 1898 from men of Shantung Province led by British officers and Colour Sergeants.〔p. 125 Airlie, Shiona ''Thistle and Bamboo: The Life and Times of Sir James Stewart Lockhart'' Hong Kong University Press, 1 Oct 2010〕 Army Order No 2 of 1899 approved the raising of a Chinese regiment of 1,000 men. Major Hamilton Bower of the Indian Staff Corps was given the local rank of Lieutenant Colonel and appointed Commandant of the new regiment. British officers started to arrive in late 1898 and the regiment first appeared in the Army List, preceded by the Hong Kong Regiment (not to be confused with the later Royal Hong Kong Regiment), in January 1899.〔http://www.kaiserscross.com/304501/306501.html〕
The Regiment was highly regarded for its drill, military appearance and marksmanship.〔Perrett, Bryan ''Against All Odds!''Hachette UK, 11 Oct 2012〕
By 1900 the Regiment consisted of 420 men organised into seven companies.〔p.34 Bodin, Lynn E. & Warner, Chris ''The Boxer Rebellion'' Osprey Publishing, 1979〕
