About this item
6th Royal Lancashire Militia Scarce Officers Blue Cloth Helmet Plate in silver plate with red enamel within a Tudor Rose. 3 lugs to rear. A very scarce plate, the 6th RLM were based in either Ashton Under Lyme or Salford. The regiment was embodied for full-time service on 17 May 1855 and disembodied during 1856. Thereafter the militia regularly carried out their peacetime annual training. In July 1860 the regiment received the ‘Royal’ title held by the senior Lancashire regiments, becoming the 6th Royal Lancashire Militia (6th RLM). In the early 1860s the regiment established itself at Saford. The Militia Reserve, introduced in 1867, consisted of present and former militiamen who undertook to serve overseas in case of war.
