The Royal Fusiliers
In the British army in 1605 the
ordinary regiments of the Line were composed of musketeers, who carried a
heavy musket; pikemen, armed with 16 to24 feet pikes and swords, and
grenadiers, who carried hand-grenades as well.
But there were also regiments of “Ordnance,” trained “for the
care and protection of cannon,” and these carried, instead of the
musket, a “snap-hance” or “fusil,” with sword and bayonet.
They did not carry colours, and therefore, for the rank of ensign
was substituted that of lieutenant in the subaltern grade.
On the increase to the army consequent on Monmouth’s rebellion,
James 2nd. Ordered
the formation of an “ordnance regiment,” to be called the Royal
Regiment of Fusiliers. It was
the first that had been definitely equipped as such.
Lord Dartmouth, its first colonel, raised ten
companies of Fusiliers and one of Miners in and about London, and to these
were added two other independent companies which had long existed in the
Tower. The uniform was
scarlet with yellow “livery,” caps similar to those worn by the
Grenadiers, and grey breeches and stockings. The regiment joined the camp on Hounslow Heath, in charge of
the train of artillery.
On the threatened invasion of the Prince of
Orange some men served as marines on board the fleet, as they did later in
1703, and in 1756, under Byng, when they engaged the French fleet off
Minorca. After 1688 it ceased
to be an “ordnance regiment,” but retained its armament as a Fusilier
regiment without, as in the other “battaglia,” having a proportion of
pikemen. It embarked as an
ordinary infantry regiment for the campaign in Flanders in 1689, and first
saw fighting at Walcourt, shortly after which Marlborough became its
colonel; and after a short period of service in Ireland at the sieges of
Cork and Kinsale, it returned to Flanders to serve with King William at
Steenkirk, Landen, and Namur.
It formed part of Ormond’s expedition
against Cadiz in 1702, when, though failing to take it, it captured the
towns of Rota, Port St. Mary, and Fort St. Catherine, finishing by the
destruction of the Spanish ships under French convoy in Vigo Bay.
From that time until 1773, when it embarked for Canada, its history
was comparatively uneventful; but there it formed part of the garrison of
St. John’s Fort Chambly, and Quebec.
The two former, after a short siege, surrendered to Colonel
Montgomery, who commanded the American army; but the same force, in the
effort to storm Quebec, was roughly repulsed, and its leader slain.
Shortly after this defeat the garrison made a successful sortie,
the chief results of which was to compel the Americans to abandon Canada.
Transferred to New York, it saw much arduous
work and severe fighting in the South, being present at the actions at
Staten Island, Forts Montgomery, Clinton, and Constitution; at
Philadelphia, Newhaven, and Cornwallis says in his despatch, “two three-pounders
were taken, and I fear the colours of the 7th Regiment shared
the same fate.
Returning to England soon after, a second
battalion was added. The first joined in the attack on Copenhagen in 1807, and two
years later formed part of the expedition against Martinique.
This is the first name the regiment is authorised to wear on its
colours, and the honour was bestowed in consequence of its gallantry in
the capture of that island, where it was brigaded with the 23rd
Royal Welsh Fruiliers. Meanwhile
the 2nd battalion took part in the expulsion of the French from
Oporto, as well as the battle Talavera, which is the second name on its
colours; and in 1810 the 1st battalion was also transferred to
the Peninsula. The regiment
there took part in the following battles, which are not specifically
claimed among the honours, namely, Busaco, Olivenza, Ciudad, Rodrigo,
Aldea de Pont, Montevite, Pampeluna, and Bidassoa; but it bears on the
battle-roll the names of “Albuhera,” “Badajoz,” “Salamanca,”
“Vittoria,” “Pyrenees,” “Orthes,” “Toulouse,” and
“Peninsula.”
Gold medals were awarded to the colonels for
many of these fights, and between 1809and 1814, inclusive, nine
non-commissioned officers are recorded as receiving commission. During
most of this time they had formed part of the Fusilier Brigade, consisting
of the 2nd battalion of the 7th and the 1st
battalion of the 23rd, and the bravery of their charge in line
against the heavy column at Albuhera, where they lost two-thirds of their
strength, is graphically told in Napier’s history of the war.
“The Fusiliers”, says Sir Henry Hardinge, “exceeded anything
that the usual word ‘gallantry’ can convey.
They recaptured, too, a gun, and a colour belonging to the Buffs,
which had been lost during a convoy charge earlier in the day.”
There is a curious difference between what
was considered indiscipline among men, and not among officers apparently,
at this time; for in April, 1809, the sergeants of the regiment presented
their adjutant with an address (no promotion) “expressive of their
regard and gratitude for the manner in which he had performed the duty of
adjutant.” This brought the
men a serious reprimand in general orders as having, “however
unintentionally, been guilty of an act of great insubordination” in thus
bestowing commendation on their superior officer. Later in the same year however, on the retirement of
Lieutenant-Colonel Pakenham, the officers presented him with his portrait,
and a sword valued at two hundred guineas, “as a mark of their sincere
regard for him as an officer and a gentleman, of their admiration of his
manly virtues and zeal for the service.”
It is difficult to see in what the distinction between the two
cases lies, save the mere phraseology; but it is evident here that “what
in the officer is but a choleric word, in the soldier is rank
blasphemy.”
The uniform had followed the usual
alterations. The yellow-faced
coat of 1685 had given place in1751 to the tall grenadier cap, bearing the
rose and garter crowned and the white horse with “Nec aspera terrent,”
a scarlet coat with royal blue facings, and extremely broad yellow belts,
carrying French sword and bayonet. This
in 1846 had been replaced by the scarlet coatee, with scales, the white
cross-belt supporting the bayonet in a frog, and the fusilier “cap”.
So dressed, the “City of London Regiment “ next saw service in
the Crimea; and for its good work at the Alma, Inkerman, and notably in
the repulse of the great sortie of the 26th of October, 1854,
it added these battles and “Sevastopol” to its roll.
Five Victoria Crosses were won in the campaign-by Privates Hughes
and Norman, Lieutenant Hope, Captain Jones, and Assistant-Surgeon Hale.
Though in India during the Mutiny, its
operations were confined to Scinde; but it took part in the frontier
fighting of 1863, and later on a second battalion, raised in 1858, shared
in the Afghan campaign , where it assisted in the defence of Kandahar, and
the battle which raised the siege. For this the titles “Kandahar, 1880,” and “Afghanistan,
1879-80” closes, at present, a record of gallant duty well done. The present uniform is scarlet, with blue
facings. The grenade, with
the rose on the ball, is worn on the buttons and the collar, and on the
caps is the same badge, with, in addition, the crowned garter and the
White Horse. The Militia battalions are the (3rd)
Royal Westminster, the (4th) Royal London, and the (5th)
Royal South Middlesex. Of
these the 3rd battalion bears on its colours
“Mediterranean,” because of its services during the Russian War.
The 1st Volunteer Battalion is the 16th
Middlesex, the 2nd the 23rd Middlesex; the 3rd
the 11th Middlesex. All
are clothed in scarlet with blue facings.
The Royal Fusiliers has borne the name of the “Hanoverian White
Horse,” from bearing this badge as a decoration; and at another period
that of the “Elegant Extracts,” from the officers having been selected
from other regiments.
The regimental district has its headquarters was in Hounslow.

The Fusiliers at the Battle of Albuera by David Rowlands.
The Duke of Wellington while besieging the fort of Badajoz was told of an approaching French Amy of 23,000 troops under Marshal Nicholas Soult. The Duke of Wellington despatched General William Beresford with a force of 6,000 British troops and 24,000 Spanish troops who took up position overlooking the village of Albuera. The French attacked on the morning of the 16th May, Marshal Soult launched a feint attack on Beresfords left flank, while his main force attacked Beresfords right flank. The Spanish troops were overwhelmed by French musketry and a cavalry charge, at this point the British second division were brought from the other flank to stop the attack. It was here that the Middlesex regiment, 57th of Foot, lost a total of 423 men from their force of 575 and at this battle earned the nickname the Die-Hards. The allied forces were saved when the British and Portuguese reserves were brought forward and charged uphill against the French force. The French force were able to retire in good order but were unable to relieve the siege at Badajoz. This British victory had a heavy price as out of 6,000 troops only 1,500 were not wounded.

The History of the Old 2/4th (City of London) Battalion the London Regiment Royal Fusiliers. by Anon (1919)
This second line TF battalion was formed in September 1914 on the departure of the first line battalion, 1/4th, for Malta. In the last week of December 1914 the 2/4th battalion sailed for Malta where it relieved 1/4th which went to France. The battalion served on Malta till August 1915 when it moved to Alexandria, and shortly after (October 1915) headed for Mudros and then Gallipoli where it arrived in October 1915. In January 1916 it left Gallipoli and made its way to Rouen, via Alexandria, and there, in June 1916, the battalion was disbanded. At this point the third line battalion (3/4th), which had been raised in January 1915 and was still in England, was re-designated 2/4th, under which title it went to France in January 1917. In effect, then, the 2/4th lived on but to emphasize the fact that this history is concerned only with the original battalion the book title refers to the Old 2/4th.

The same year he entered the army after basic training as Assistant
Surgeon to the 7th Foot (1st Battalion The Royal Fusiliers) and won the
Victoria Cross in the first three months of his new appointment, at the
Siege of Sebastopol during the attack on the Redan.
"Dates of Acts of Bravery: 8 September 1855. One

1863. From 1864-66 he was medical officer for the Punjab Infantry and for
the European detachments on the Punjab Frontier. In 1867 he was promoted

skilful shot. His publications included aspects of Irish history, and he
was a fellow of both the Royal Geographical Society and the Royal
Historical Society. He died in 1909, on Christmas day at his home at
