Based at Cambridge and Wisbech, the new unit recruited veteran Fen Tigers amongst their ranks, being honoured the right to wear the Cambridgeshire's regimental tie.

This change was not permanent as in 1995 they reverted to being ‘D’ (Cambridgeshire) Company 6th (Volunteer) Battalion, Royal Anglian Regiment.

Four years later, in April, 1999 the Company was finally disbanded, thus ending the County of Cambridgeshire's link with the part-time Riflemen that had begun in 1860.

[1] The company, having a Home Defence role, routinely had annual camps in England, Wales and Scotland.
