The Staffordshire Regiment (Prince of Wales') (or simply "Staffords" for short) was an infantry regiment of the British Army, part of the Prince of Wales' Division. The regiment was formed in 1959 by the amalgamation of The South Staffordshire Regiment and The North Staffordshire Regiment (Prince of Wales's). The Staffords can trace their history back to 1705 when a regiment known as the 38th Foot was raised at Lichfield by Colonel Luke Lillington.

It was 300 years since Colonel Luke Lillington formed his Regiment of Foot at the Kings Head public house, in Bird Street, Lichfield in 1705, that went on to become the 38th Foot (1st Staffordshire Regiment),

The regular Staffordshire Regiments, since their formation have served all over the world, taking part in nearly every war in which British Forces have been engaged
