The 1st Chinese Regiment was raised in 1898 and consisted of Chinese troops under the command of British officers and senior non-commissioned officers. Its main task was to protect the British territory of Wei Hai Wei (now Weihai), a base for the Royal Navy’s China Station. The regiment was disbanded in 1903 after the territory was transferred from War Office control to the Colonial Office. It did, however, see active service during the Third China War (the Boxer Rebellion, 1900–1901).
