Northumberland's Military Heritage synopsis

There is no doubt that the military heritage of Northumberland is one of the richest areas of all the British Isles. Because of its nature as the largest province in the north of England, its borders have experienced numerous bloody clashes and battles since ancient times.

The Hadrian Wall extends along the southern part of the province and is spread by the fortifications, fortresses and fortified settlements along it. The first raid on Viking was carried out on Lindisfarne in 793.

There were clashes with the Scots for centuries and from the thirteenth century and over 400 years after that there were raids on the border by reivers. The Battle of Newburn in 1640 was one of the points that led to the English Civil War, and many of the noble family of Northumberland were destroyed in the Jacobine rebellion of 1745.

It is hardly surprising that within the province more castles can be found from anywhere else in Britain, The fighters men, the Northumbrians steel does not resemble anything else. The men of the North were the backbone of the British army.

A number of regiments have been recruited here, including Coldstream Guards, the Royal Scotland Property Guard and, of course, our Northumberland Fusilliers, our "Fifth Combat". They have all served excellence wherever they fought - from the peninsula war to South Africa, through two world wars, and beyond.

The award-winning military historian, Story and loves Northumberland, and will be of interest to anyone who wants to learn more about his remarkable military history.
