The Prince’s Own was one of many Volunteer Companies of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

History

The Prince’s Own (formerly known as the Prince of Hawai’i’s Own) was established in 1874 in response to the re-establishment of the Hawaiian Military following the ascension of Kalākaua. Originally commanded by David Kalākaua, the Prince’s Own was a substitute to the original Honolulu Rifles after its dissolution. The Corps was meant to be the Hawaiian Armies artillery unit and one of the five military companies that made up the Hawaiian Army.

On April 15, 1878 Curtis P. Iaukea was commissioned to lead the Prince’s own (Company A), serving as its Captain for several years before Captain A. Kaaha (Company A.) and Captain James Harbottle Boyd (Company B.) took command.

After the Bayonet Constitution, the new Reform Government instituted a reorganization of the military companies, combining them into “Battalion 2” (Comprising the former companies) and “Battalion 1” (Honolulu Rifles), officially dissolving the Prince’s own.
