The Regiment participated in the Slaget på Reden (1801), the Gunboat War (1807-1814), First Schleswig War (1848-1850) and Second Schleswig War (1864). The regimental flag had the battle honours Bov 1848, Slesvig 1848, Fredericia 1849, Isted 1850 and Sankelmark 1864.

In 1976 Falsterske Fodregiment was merged into the regiment and Danish Life Regiment was then responsible for four of their own and four of Falsterske Fodregiment battalions until 1982.
