Fusilier Regiments, Lancashire Fusiliers, Northumberland Fusiliers, Royal Fusiliers and Warwickshire Fusiliers, now part of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers and the Welsh Fusiliers, can be seen in historical military prints in the galleries to below.

As with the scotch regiments, because of a certain similarity of costume and locality it has been judged better to collect them in one group; so with the Fusilier regiments it seems advisable to brigade them, so to speak, because of their characteristics head-dress.  “Fusiliers” were originally ordinary foot soldiers, armed with light firelocks or “fusils,” which could be carried slung. The chevrons, too, were different; and, wearing a head-dress somewhat like the Grenadiers, but shorter, and made of racoon skin or seal skin, they usually march past to the “Grenadiers’ March.” A hundred years ago there were but three regiments in the service-the Royal regiments of English, Scotch, and Welsh Fusiliers (or “Fuziliers”). Now there are nine-the Northumberland (formerly 5th Foot), the Royal (the 7th), the Lancashire (the 20th), the Royal Scots (the 21st, already dealt with under the Scotch regiments), the Royal Welsh (the 23rd), the inniskilling (the 27th and 108th), the Royal Irish (the 87th and 89th), the Royal Munster (the 101st and 104th), and the Royal Dublin (the 102nd and 103rd).   The distinctive head-dress or “cap,” as it was formerly called, is nine inches high, with a gilt grenade in front, bearing a badge.  In all other respects the uniform is the same, generally, as that of the Line.

 
Howay the Lads by David Rowlands Y Company of 1st Battalion The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers assault Bridge 2 over the Shatt al Basrah waterway under heavy fire on the morning of 23rd March 2003

The German attack on the Nimy Bridge At Mons. The defence of the Nimy Bridge at Mons on August 23rd 1914 was one of the gallant episodes of the first days of the war.  From eight oclock in the morning, when the Germans launched the first infantry attack, a single company under Captain Ashburner held the bridge until the order to retire was given late in the day.  Time after time the Germans advanced in great rushes in an endeavour to clear the bridge, and four battalions were opposed to the British Company without success.  Lieutenant Maurice James Dease, of the 4th Battalion The Royal Fusiliers, whose most gallant services were rewarded with the V.C., was wounded no less than five times, but he continued firing his machine gun throughout the day.  At the retirement Lieutenant Steele carried him across the open to a place of safety where he died.

Private Godley Working A Machine Gun In Defence Of The Ghlin Bridge At Mons. While Captain Ashburner and his company were engaged in a struggle against overwhelming odds at the Nimy Bridge, Captain Byng and his men were fighting with equal valour to hold the Ghlin Bridge.  The pressure was tremendous and the Germans made considerable progress, but they could not gain the bridge.  Private Sidney Frank Godley, of the 4th Battalion The Royal Fusiliers, who though wounded, remained working his machine gun for two hours, inflicted great losses on the enemy.  He was rewarded with the V.C. for his great gallantry.
