The 16th Regiment of Foot, (first raised in 1688) was joined with the militia regiments and rifle volunteer corps of Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire. The two English counties which had kept the ranks of the Bedfordshire regiment filled during the 1914-1918 War were Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire. On July 29, 1919 the Bedfordshire regiment was renamed the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Regiment, to honour the great contribution of the regiment from Hertfordshire.
