Traditional Cape Regiments

Traditional Cape Regiments

The Traditional Cape Regiments are the five traditional South African Army volunteer regiments from Cape Town, South Africa.

These regiments are:
* Cape Field Artillery
* Cape Town Rifles (Dukes)
* Cape Town Highlanders
* Cape Garrison Artillery
* Regiment Westelike Provinsie

The Cape Town Rifles (Dukes) are the oldest of these regiments, but as the artillery take precedence over the infantry, the Cape Field Artillery ranks first.
