Everything about The Royal Irish Fusiliers totally explained
The
Royal Irish Fusiliers was an infantry regiment of the
British Army, raised originally as 87 Prince of Wales's Irish Regiment of Foot in 1793 and later combined with The 89 Regiment in
1881. It was given "The Royal Irish Fusiliers" title in 1827.
It saw quite an amount of service in war against Napolean and became famous as the first
British Army unit to capture a French Imperial eagle in battle. It was in the Peninsula the regiment got its nickname, the Faughs, from their Irish war cry "Faugh-a-Ballagh" (Fág a' Bealach, meaning Clear the Way).
Battalions of it served with the
10th Irish Division and
36th (Ulster) Division during
World War I and was amalgamated with The
Royal Ulster Rifles and The
Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers to form The
Royal Irish Rangers in
1968.
