The list of Regimental Sergeants Major, (known simply as Sergeant Major until 1908), is nearly complete however we’ll continue to try our best to fill in the gaps.  From 1 May 1906 until 15 December 1936 the Regiment expanded to 2 Battalions and by 1908 the term Regimental Sergeant Major came into use for the first time and separate Sergeants Major were appointed for the 1st and 2nd Battalions. During both WWI and WWII there were multiple Battalions and from 1953 to 1970 there were two Regular Army Battalions and a Training Depot.
