22nd (County of London) Battalion (The Queen's)


22nd Battalion was a battalion of the London Regiment. Between 1908 and 1938 its drill hall was at 2 Jamaica Road in Bermondsey, south London.
Its origins lay in the 10th and 23rd Surrey Rifle Volunteers, founded in 1859. Those two units merged to form the 6th Surrey Rifle Volunteer Corps in 1880, which three years later was assigned to the Queen's Royal Regiment as the latter's 3rd Battalion. When the Territorial Force was formed in 1908, the battalion was reassigned to the new London Regiment, with whom it remained until 1937, when it returned to the Queen's Royal Regiment, now as that regiment's 6th Battalion.
