Will the uniform, badge and flash stay the same as it has been, or will it be changed?

[img2=left]http://rwf-forum.co.uk/vBulletin/miscpix/Badge.jpg[/img2]The new dress of The Royal Welsh is a three feather badge on a khaki beret with green edging and a hackle. The new stable belt is blue over green with a red divide and a leather buckle. The Flash has been retained by The Royal Welsh (The Royal Welch Fusiliers)

Why does the badge called three feathers, when it real name is The Prince of Wales feathers, is the three feathers a sign of cowardism.
Never has the Regiments of Wales shown any cowardism, or any other Regiments of Great Britain.

The three feather badge caption was writtend by the MOD author of the article. It is of course the Prince of Wales's feathers

The cap badge is actually the "Hiers Feathers" and was designed ny HRH Prince Charles.

Dave, I don't want to split hairs here (pardon the pun!) but is it the Heir's Feathers? It's just that I cannot find any reference to Hiers Feathers.

If Prince Charles designed it, as you say, it is obviously different to The "Prince of Wales' Feathers", which is the Heraldic badge of the Heir Apparent, derived from the ostrich feathers borne by Edward, the Black Prince.

Thanks for the info - very interesting

G'day Helen, Traditionaly the white feather was deemed to be a simble of cowardice. Hence the classic film,"Four Feathers", So what "drongo" chose them for the RWF heckle????? What was the matter with Red White and Green?????? Best wishes Trevor,640

Just to let you know that the cap badge is going to change. How much change is still to be seen but it will change. The Regt is under orders from the Garter to "Difference/Change" the cap badge on amalgamation.

Watch this space.

Hi all , ref no1 hats do all officers and snco's wear them now instead of berets. Cheers Val.Shades

Hi all, another thing i was thinking was when did you stop wearing the flash on combat jackets, in Berlin the bn wore them , and do the 2 nd bn have to wear our hackle and flash. The other topical question now the merger has took place , has it the status of the oldest infantry regiment in the British army. Cheers Val.Shades
