The Royal Welch Fusiliers was an infantry regiment of the British army. It was founded in 1689 to oppose James II and to take part in the imminent war against France. The regiment was counted as the 23rd Regiment of the bottom, even though it was one of the first regiments to get the honour of a Fusilier title, and that’s how the Welch Regiment of Fusiliers from 1702 became known. It was one of the oldest regiments in the British army, hence the archaic spelling of the word Welch instead of Welsh. During the first world war, the army officially called the regiment "The Royal Welsh Fusiliers", but the archaic "Welch" was officially restored in the regiment title in 1920 under army order no. 56. In these decades, the regiment itself officially used the "Welch" form. " Brass and copper. Dimensions: height: 32 cm, width: 17 cm, depth: 10 cm Shipping: Insured via DHL and with tracking number.
