The original regiments retained their individuality by each becoming a specific battalion of the new regiment - also preserving the county affiliation as an addition to each title. This nomenclature was eventually abandoned once the regiment was reduced to three battalions on the disbandment of the 4th Battalion. :
1st Battalion, The Queen’s Regiment (Queen’s Surreys).
2nd Battalion, The Queen's Regiment (Queen's Own Buffs)
3rd Battalion, The Queen's Regiment (Royal Sussex),
4th Battalion, The Queen's Regiment (Middlesex)
