Description
The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers holds a storied and esteemed place within the British Army. It traces its origins back to the late 17th century, with the formation of various Fusilier regiments renowned for their proficiency with the fusil, a type of flintlock musket. Over the centuries, these regiments distinguished themselves in numerous campaigns and battles, earning a reputation for valour, discipline, and professionalism.
In 1968, as part of the reforms of the British Army, several Fusilier regiments, including the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers, the Royal Warwickshire Fusiliers, the Royal Fusiliers (City of London Regiment), and the Lancashire Fusiliers, were amalgamated to form the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. This amalgamation brought together centuries of proud military tradition under a single banner.
The regiment has since continued to serve with distinction in conflicts and operations around the world. From Northern Ireland to the Falkland Islands, from Iraq to Afghanistan, Fusiliers have demonstrated bravery and resilience in the face of adversity, upholding the regiment's motto "Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense" (Evil be to him who evil thinks) with honour.
The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers Blazer Badge serves as a tangible symbol of this rich heritage and tradition. Worn by Fusiliers past and present, as well as dedicated supporters, it signifies a deep connection to the regiment and a commitment to upholding its legacy of service and sacrifice. Wearing the blazer badge is not just an act of pride; it's a statement of allegiance to a brotherhood forged in the crucible of conflict and tempered by centuries of shared history.
