ROYAL MALTA FENCIBLE REGIMENT, 1815-1861. ROYAL MALTA FENCIBLE PENSIONERS COMPANY, 1854-1861. ROYAL MALTA FENCIBLE ARTILLERY, 1861. In 1815 fresh changes took place in the native troops in Malta. By an order from the governor, Lieut.-General Maitland, of February 16, the whole of the Maltese corps, as then established, viz. "Provincials," "Veterans," and " Coast Artillery," were to be reduced, and in lieu thereof, one regiment was to be raised at once, to be called the Royal Malta Fencibles.* The establishment and rates of pay of this corps, which underwent frequent changes, will be found enumerated in Appendix L, at the end of this work. * The term Fencible is now obsolete in the British service. It was preserved until quite recently in Malta, i.e. in 1839. Originally the term belonged to a species of militia raised for the defence of a particular district, and for a limited time. The engagement on the part of the men was a voluntary one, and their services were at first restricted to the county in which they were raised. They were subsequently moved from their district, and several Fencible corps served in Ireland. The conditions on enlistment were-- The men (veterans excepted) were to serve in Malta and its dependencies, be subject to the Articles of War, and enjoy the privileges granted to the other King's troops in Malta.

Engaged on the Western Front, at Gallipoli, Salonika, Mesopotamia and Palestine, it treated sick and wounded cavalry, transport and artillery animals. It also diversified, dealing with horses that had been gassed, setting up four farriery schools, and even treating camels in the Middle East. Following the Armistice in 1918, it was granted the 'Royal' prefix in recognition of its service.
