Of the two regiments, who is the senior, but it feels to that we (The Royal Welch Fusiliers) are the junior. Onxce again, this has caused the the ugly head to rise again.
Other that the Red Dragon, what else is on the standard belonging to the Royal Welch Fusiliers.
The Colour is of the Standard is GREEN and the Red Dragon is Red, with the reef of imortel behind it.
Will this type standard apply to all the Comrades associations that arwe currently in existance (i.e. RWF and RRW), or will it only apply to branches that will change to the New Regioment?
Bridgend is traditionally a recruiting area for the Royal Regiment of Wales. So what if the main colour is GREEN! The Red Dragon takes centre stage and remains rampant. For goodness sake lads its time to let go, move on, support the new regiment and bathe in the glory that was The Royal Welch Fusiliers, The South Wales Borderers and The Welsh Regiment.
If I can help somebody as I pass along, my living will not be in vain.
I agree with Gwyn lets go forward 1&2 Royal welsh both support and are proud of the dragon like we all are..Don't divide the country with this north and south businesses..it was done many years ago by an english king who only spoke French.
Hello Richjones,
I suppose a lot of people take issue with the so called north and south divide. But one hell of a lot of south and mid Walians over many years have enlisted in the old Royal Welch Fusiliers not least are those of course are the much maligned National Servicemen, of whom I have the greatest respect for, and like all RWF men who served King/ Queen and country with the utmost loyalty and fortitude at all times. And further more on a personal basis I have a great affection for all things RWF and found that both north and south Walians were friends at all times. It never was comparable to the great American divide that took place in the Americam civil war, and I do not think the expression north and south should have much credibility in matters apertaining to the RWF I also take the point about moving on with the new formation. As a point of interest the old second battalion R.W.F.in the Great war were known as "The Birmingham Fusiliers" as mentioned in David Langley's book "Duty Done" a definitive book on the old second battalion RWF.

Just another case of the RRW winning at the end of the day (green background, wreath of imortel), we have lost almost everything that is the Royal Welch Fusiliers, and as the most senior regiment in Wales any changes should reflect that
I think that this is amost rubber stamped as the Regimental Association Standard (just letting us know in advance that this is what it WILL look like)
Gentlemen, I have seen the design for the new Standard for the "Duke of Lancaster's Regiment" as it affects Fleetwood and there is no number written on it. As this was "King's Own Borderers", I have no idea if they are happy or unhappy with what has been suggested but I do know that no-one can ever take our memories away, irrespective of which regiment we served with. So let us all accept the inevitable inflicted upon us by those in Whitehall whose knowledge of ALL Infantry regiments and their proud traditions is nil. It is surely up to us to retain and maintain such history.
Apologies if anyone thinks this is a rant, but even though it was only 6 months, I was in Honiton with you.
