The Isle of Wight Militia (IoWM) was an auxiliary military force on the Isle of Wight off the South Coast of England. From their formal organisation as Trained Bands in 1558 until their final service as coastal artillery, the Militia regiments of the island served in home defence in all of Britain's major wars until 1909.
