757: 840: 1099:, the militia began to be called out for home defence. Having been embodied, the militia was invited in January 1855 to volunteer for overseas service in the Mediterranean garrisons. The Royal Denbighshire Rifles was the first regiment to volunteer for this duty. However, a legal problem arose over the attestations of the recruits from 1852–54, who had to be released after 56 days' service, rendering many of the 48 regiments that had volunteered temporarily too small to serve overseas, and the Denbighshires stayed at home. The regiment served an extended training period at Wrexham until June 1856 and did not carry out any garrison duties elsewhere in the UK. However, over 40 of the men volunteered for the regulars, mainly for the 950: 1190: 73: 1119: 1068:, enacted during a period of international tension. As before, units were raised and administered on a county basis, and filled by voluntary enlistment (although conscription by means of the militia ballot might be used if the counties failed to meet their quotas). Training was for 56 days on enlistment, then for 21–28 days per year, during which the men received full army pay. Under the Act, militia units could be embodied by Royal Proclamation for full-time service in three circumstances: 86: 614:. By July the regiment had marched to Chester where it stayed until mid-August. In September the regiment visited its home county, with companies stationed in Wrexham, Denbigh and Ruthin (perhaps in connection with recruitment) and then returned to the Chester garrison by the beginning of October. In late 1779 there were machine-breaking riots in Lancashire and the Denbighshire Militia sent three companies from Chester to Liverpool to assist 104: 884: 59: 1383:(probably where it was on annual training); it returned to Wrexham to mobilise on 9 August under the command of Lt-Col H.R.

The 3rd Battalion's role was to equip the Reservists and Special Reservists of the Royal Welch Fusiliers and send them as reinforcement drafts to the regular battalions serving on the 827:(and Colonel of the Denbighshire Militia) Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn, proposed that the small Denbighshire and Merionethshire contingents should be combined to support a full-size regiment: the proposal was rejected at this time.

the lots and the resulting list remained in force with minor amendments until the end of the militia. The regiments raised before the peace of 1763 took the first places and the Denbighshire was awarded 46th place. The regimental number was only a subsidiary title and most regiments paid little attention to it.

The rest of the Royal Denbighshire Rifles at Chester had been brought up to strength by means of the ballot. It too marched back to Wrexham in June 1814 to be disembodied.

In November 1813 the militia were invited to volunteer for limited overseas service, primarily for garrison duties in Europe.

In the 16th Century little distinction was made between the militia and the troops levied by the counties for overseas expeditions.

The militia order of precedence balloted for in 1793 (Denbighshire was 7th) remained in force throughout the French Revolutionary War. Another ballot for precedence took place at the start of the Napoleonic War, when Denbighshire was 4th. This order continued until 1833. In that year the King drew

After Waterloo there was another long peace. Although officers continued to be commissioned into the militia and ballots were still held, the regiments were rarely assembled for training (the Denbighs only trained in 1821, 1825 and 1831, and then not again for 21 years) and the permanent staffs of
