7th (City of London) Battalion, The London Regiment

Categories: Armed Forces

London unit which served in WW1.

The 7th (City of London) Battalion had no traditional name, but was nicknamed the 'Shiny Seventh' because it wore brass buttons in a Regiment whose other battalions all wore black rifle buttons.

Their Wikipedia page gives details about the origins of the battalion, their battle honours and how it was amalgamated with the 8th (City of London) Battalion, The London Regiment (Post Office Rifles) in 1921, forming the 7th London Regiment (Post Office Rifles).

It is shown as the 7th Battalion on the London Troops War Memorial in Threadneedle Street, London, EC2.
