As a reserve unit, it has a status roughly equivalent to that of a British Army Reserve or United States Army National Guard unit. The Regiment is stationed in the city after which it was named, Pretoria. It is part of the South African Army Armour Formation.〔(Pretoria Regiment )〕 ==History== The regiment was formed in Pretoria on 1 July 1913 as the ''12th Infantry (Pretoria Regiment)'' - a unit of the Active Citizen Force - by the amalgamation of several units: the Pretoria Company of the Transvaal Scottish, the Central South African Railway Volunteers, the Northern Mounted Rifles and the Pretoria detachment of the Transvaal Cycle and Motor Corps. In 1928, it was renamed ''The Pretoria Regiment''.〔(South African Armour Association )〕 On 24 October 1930 it was once again renamed, to ''The Pretoria Regiment (Princess Alice's Own)''. The Regiment became fully bilingual with the addition of a 2nd Battalion staffed predominantly by Afrikaners.〔 During World War II, the Regiment was converted to an armoured formation attached to the 11th South African Armoured Brigade, South African 6th Armoured Division. The unit was demobilized after the war, and in 1946 it was re-organised as a part-time force, consisting of two separate regiment-sized formations. These were re-integrated in 1954.〔 After the establishment of the Republic of South Africa in 1961, the unit was again renamed ''The Pretoria Regiment'' by the South African Defence Force. In the 1960s, recruits were trained on Centurion tanks and the new Eland armoured cars.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pretoria Regiment」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
