The Loamshire Regiment can be taken to be the county regiment of the fictional county of Loamshire. The regiment itself has been featured in several works of fiction. Bulldog Drummond, the hero of the stories by "Sapper", was an officer in the Loamshire Regiment (in this case the 'Royal Loamshires') during the First World War, as was one of the characters in The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp. The regiment is also mentioned by Evelyn Waugh in Men at Arms, part of the Sword of Honour trilogy, and Put Out More Flags. Loamshire is the setting for one of George Eliot's novels, Felix Holt, the Radical. Peter Fleming, brother of Ian Fleming, refers to the regiment and the Loamshire Argos newspaper in his essay The Last Day in Camp. (en)
