HISTORY OF BRITISH ROYAL FUSILIERS UNIFORMS
The Royal Fusiliers (City of London Regiment) was a line infantry regiment of the British
Army in continuous existence for 283 years. It was known as the 7th Regiment of Foot until
the Childers Reforms of 1881.
The regiment served in many wars and conflicts throughout its long existence, including the
Second Boer War, the First World War and the Second World War. In 1968, the
regiment was amalgamated with the other regiments of the Fusilier Brigade - the Royal
Northumberland Fusiliers, the Royal Warwickshire Fusiliers and the Lancashire Fusiliers -
to form a new large regiment, the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers.
The Royal Fusiliers War Memorial, a monument dedicated to the almost 22,000 Royal
Fusiliers who died during the First World War, stands on Holborn in the City of London.
