[edit] Redirect from Royal Fusiliers

I wonder if Arthur Reginald French, 5th Baron de Freyne who was with the Royal Fusiliers (redirects here) was actually with The Royal Fusiliers (City of London Regiment). Rl 08:21, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

The Royal Fusiliers and The Royal Fusiliers (City of London Regiment) was one and the same. Hope that helps :-) SoLando 16:53, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 87 years...

Sooo... did they do anything between 1881 and 1968? I think there were a couple of World Wars in there somewhere. ;)

I'm pretty sure they fought at Anzio, only because Roger Waters' father was killed there. But I don't really have sources for anything else at the moment. Can someone fill in some of the huge gap in their history? I'll try to do some research and fix it myself, but it may take some time. Kafziel 18:53, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Number of Great War battalions

The article currently (Tue 04 Dec 2007) states that the regiment rasised 76 battalions in WW1.

I can only find records of approx 48 battalions.

Would the author mind citing his authority for the higher figure?

Even 48 is a remarkably high number of course! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.132.159.169 (talk) 19:35, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
