The Prince of Wales' Own Civil Service Rifles was an infantry regiment of the Volunteer Force and Territorial Force of the British Army from 1798 to 1921; it saw active service in the Boer War and World War I as part of the London Regiment.
The regiment was originally formed as the Bank of England Volunteers in 1798 but was disbanded in 1814 at the end of the Napoleonic Wars.
[7] From 1863 until 1888 the regiment wore a dark grey uniform with royal blue facings and a shako.
Accordingly light grey was adopted in 1890, although royal blue was still retained for the facings in full dress uniform until 1914.
[8] The memorial for the Prince of Wales' Own Civil Service Rifles is situated at Somerset House, London.
