  About Prince Of Wales’s Own Norfolk Artillery:   In 1853 the Norfolk Militia Artillery was formed from detachments of West and East Norfolk Militia. 52 men transferred from the East Norfolk Militia. The Norfolk Artillery Militia were assigned garrison duty at Eastbourne from March 7 - April 25, 1855. Their strength was increased from 200 to 400 men in May.   The Norfolk Artillery Militia were granted barracks in All Saints Green, Norwich from around 1860, these consisting of Ivory House, a parade ground and stables. These barracks remained in use until the late 1920s   The Prince of Wales became Honorary Colonel of the Artillery Militia in 1871. In 1875 Royal assent was received to change the title of the Regiment to The Prince of Wales's Own Norfolk Artillery. The Great Yarmouth Assembly Rooms became frequently used as the Officer's Mess, whilst artillery practice was conducted on South Denes. In 1883 Lt. Colonel Lord Suffield and Major Edward Southwold Trafford purchased the building on behalf of the Artillery Militia, and the building remained under the Militia's ownership until 1918 (after which it became a Masonic Lodge).   In 1882, to align with the territorial designation of regular and auxiliary artillery units, the designation of the Corps was changed to Prince of Wales's Own 2nd Brigade, Eastern Division, Royal Artillery.   Please note that we have many other original ww1 and Victorian regimental letter heads in stock at the moment, so please check out our other items.    These will be sent via royal mail 1st class signed for and dispatched within two working days.
