Am I right to say, if I was a Fusilier and visiting the 2nd Battalion and the Provo Sgt or RSM shouted Privte stand still would I be in trouble for ignoring him????

Hello All,
The title Fusilier stems from the days when certain British Regiments of the line used FUSILS.And there style and title was Fusiliers
Regards Don

With regard to Bennyball2's question, I have to say that in my time if the Provost Sgt or the RSM shouted "Private stand still" EVERYBODY within earshot - including the CO - stopped in their tracks!

There was a rumour just a rumour that we would all be called Welshmen, ie: Welshman Jones, Hughes etc.

With regards to Senjo89, I certainly wouldent have stopped if he called me a private!!!

Hello Beefy,
If a Sjt even a provost Sjt shouted put that man Jones in the nick, when the second were in Malaya it would need Parkhouse Gaol to lock them all up.I was reliably informed we had close to 300 Jones's in the battalion.
Regards RBD

I dont ever imaging we could get rid of last two`s

Hello Beefy,
I am certain we can never dispense with the last two.
Regards Don

It is believed that the Cap Badge is also in design based on the old RRW badge with a scroll underneath with the words 'The Royal Welsh'. Hope this clears up some issues.

The collar dog is a gold bomb with the RRW wreath of immortelles with dragon passant in silver superimposed over the bomb. It will be worn by all Bn's within the Regt. Officers and WO1's will wear a bronzed version.

The buttons have a rampant dragon with Royal Welsh underneath. Gold for troops, bronzed for Officers.

I think the collar dog is very smart and is probably the best example of the merger of the RWF and RRW. However I am sure some of you will disagree.

Al P if you email me I will send them to you to post on here.

The Welshman title was looked at for soldiers but was binned by all the CO's as a non starter.
1st Bn are known as Fusiliers
2nd Bn are known as Privates (As there is no mention of Fusilier anywhere in their name - hence no-one is a Fusilier)
3rd Bn A & D Companies are Fusiliers with B/ & HQ known as Privates. This is not that confusing to manage.

The new computer system JPA only blanket ranks all as Privates however the 1st and 3rd Bn's will continue with the tradition of Fusilier.

Sir, the 2 Bn RW do were the Hackle and flash and the 3 rd RW Bn do as well , so that makes Them Fusiliers you are now a proud new regiment with golden threads chosen from each Bn for the merger.
uniformity is a must so all men of the new RW should all be Fusiliers, because you agreed to the golden thread of the Royal Welch Fusiliers. Rules are rules RSM , if you let this rule slide maybe 1 bn should revert back to its own Cap badge, regimental colors and so on.
You should stick by the agreement you made when RRW AND RWF merged, or is it because all the senior officers are RRW its OK to whittle out the RWF golden threads .
The merger is over now , these small errors should between 1 2 and 3 Bn need to be sorted out. All Bn's were the flash and hackle , that makes them Fusiliers, Take care see you at the reunion , cheers Val.
