In 1968, the regiment was amalgamated with The Royal Northumberland Fusiliers, The Royal Warwickshire Fusiliers and The Lancashire Fusiliers to form The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. 31 Dec 1914 The 2nd/3rd (City of London Reserve Battalion) arrived from Tonbridge England on H. T. Neuralia and Avon. Please check the source to verify that this is correct. It prevailed in the barracks of the 42nd among the men, the officers almost entirely escaping it. First Fusilier regiment formed in Northumberland. Assistant Inspector of Hospitals John Davy described Acute Rheumatism as those cases such as commonly occur in Malta, and chiefly in the winter season, marked generally by pain and difficulty of motion, and some derangement of general health, and very rarely indeed attended either by redness or swelling of the affected part or by a pyrexial state. The Royal Fusiliers was a line infantry regiment of the British Army in continuous existence for 283 years. The 1st Battalion landed at Durban, where they became part of the 5th (Irish) Brigade. The White Horse of the Royal House of Hanover appears on the Regimental Colour. 27 Aug The 2nd/1st (City of London) moved to Egypt and fought in the Gallipoli Campaign. The office bearers were: Master Samuel Proctor, Deputy Master John Hadley, Secretary Samuel Smith, Treasurer Richard Proctor, Chaplain John Eite, Senior Deacon Thomas Bennett, Junior Deacon Thomas Leigh and Tyler James Price. Soldiers generally became infected from frequenting prostitutes who, notwithstanding the vigilance of the police, evaded the weekly inspections carried out by the police physician and his assistants. 21 Jan 1836 The 7th Royal Fusiliers was ordered to return to England having served over eleven years on foreign service. The Regiment was first formed in 1685 by George Legge, 1st Baron of Dartmouth in order to support King James II during the Monmouth Rebellion, when James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth (the illegitimate son of Charles II and the King’s nephew) unsuccessfully attempted to overthrow the unpopular King. About a tenth of all those reporting sick in the garrison had a venereal disease. In 1949, it was converted into the 625th Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment Royal Artillery (Royal Fusiliers). In 1948 both regular battalions were amalgamated as the 1st Battalion, the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers. These served in Africa, the Middle East, Macedonia, Gallipoli and the Russian Civil War as well as on the Western Front. However, this decision was later amended to exclude four battalions and after a successful campaign by the Royal Irish Fusiliers (Princess Victoria's) it was agreed that the disbandment would not be of the most junior regiment but of the two most junior battalions.
