Fusiliers Inniskilling Inniskillings Uniforms
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the essence of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers in the early 1910s, a time of great change and preparation for the regiment as the world headed towards the First World War. The soldiers are seen here in their full uniform, each man exuding a sense of pride and discipline. The Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, also known as the 'Inniskillings,' were an infantry regiment of the British Army with a rich history dating back to 1689. Originally raised in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, the regiment saw action in numerous conflicts, including the Peninsular War and the Crimean War. By the early 1910s, the regiment was based in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, and was part of the 87th Brigade, 29th Division. The soldiers in this photograph are dressed in the standard infantry uniform of the time, with the distinctive red hackle on their shakos, signifying their affiliation with the Inniskilling Fusiliers. The Edwardian era was a time of innovation and modernization in the military, and the uniforms of the period reflect this, with the introduction of khaki drill uniforms and the phasing out of the traditional red coats. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the lives of these soldiers and the regiment they served in. It is a poignant reminder of the history and traditions of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, a regiment that played a significant role in shaping the military history of Britain and Ireland.
