After the Napoleonic Wars, the regiment received a new title: first, in 1815, its name was changed to '''The Duke of York's Own Rifle Corps''' and then, in 1830, to the '''King's Royal Rifle Corps''' (KRRC). In 1858, the [[Peninsula Barracks|Rifle Depot]] at [[Winchester]] was made their headquarters. The regiment served in the [[Anglo-Egyptian War]] in 1882. During the rest of the 1800s, the unit also was active in China, Canada ([[Wolseley expedition]]), Afghanistan, India, [[Myanmar|Burma]] and South Africa. The regiment was deployed during the [[Second Boer War]] from the outset playing a key role in the first battle at [[Battle of Talana Hill|Talana Hill]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://angloboerwar.com/?option=com_content&view=article&id=566|title=King's Royal Rifle Corps|publisher=Anglo-Boer War|access-date=11 June 2016|archive-date=11 August 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160811064728/http://angloboerwar.com/?option=com_content&view=article&id=566|url-status=live}}</ref> Two officers from the regiment were awarded the [[Victoria Cross]]; Lieutenant [[Frederick Roberts (British Army officer, born 1872)|Frederick Roberts]]<ref>{{London Gazette|issue=27157|page=506|date=26 January 1900}}</ref> and Lieutenant [[Llewelyn Alberic Emilius Price-Davies]].<ref>{{London Gazette|issue=27381|page=8409|date=29 November 1901}}</ref> Private [[Frederick Corbett]] also received the Victoria Cross for his action at [[Battle of Kafr-el-Dawwar|Kafr Dowar]], [[Egypt]], on 5 August 1882; his VC was later rescinded when he was convicted of embezzlement, theft, and being absent without leave.<ref name=Stewart>{{cite web|first=Iain|last=Stewart|url=http://www.victoriacross.org.uk/bbcorbet.htm|title=Frederick Corbett|publisher=Victoria Cross Trust|date=21 April 2004|access-date=11 June 2016|archive-date=5 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305185351/http://www.victoriacross.org.uk/bbcorbet.htm|url-status=live}}</ref>
