  • The Colours Part 1: the Regular Battalions
    The Colours Part 1: The Regular Battalions By Lieutenant General J. P. Riley CB DSO PhD MA FRHistS 1. The Earliest Days At the time of the raising of Lord Herbert’s Regiment in March 1689,i it was usual for a regiment of foot to hold ten Colours. This number corre- sponded to the number of companies in the regiment and to the officers who commanded these companies although the initial establishment of Herbert’s Regiment was only eight companies. We have no record of the issue of any Colours to Herbert’s Regiment – and probably the Colo- nel paid for their manufacture himself as he did for much of the dress and equipment of his regiment. What we do know however is that each Colour was the rallying point for the company in battle and the symbol of its esprit. Colours were large – generally six feet square although no regulation on size yet existed – so that they could easily be seen in the smoke of a 17th Century battlefield for we must remember that before the days of smokeless powder, obscuration was a major factor in battle. So too was the ability of a company to keep its cohesion, deliver effec- tive fire and change formation rapidly either to attack, defend, or repel cavalry. A company was made up of anywhere between sixty and 100 men, with three officers and a varying number of sergeants, corporals and drummers depending on the actual strength. About one-third of the men by this time were armed with the pike, two-thirds with the match- lock musket.

  • Fops Under Fire: British Drum-Majors in Action During the Napoleonic Wars
    The Napoleon Series Fops under Fire: British Drum-Majors in Action during the Napoleonic Wars By Eamonn O’Keeffe In the performance theatre of the early nineteenth-century British military spectacle, drum- majors took centre stage. Sporting cocked hats and silver-tipped canes, these princes of pomp and circumstance uncased and lodged the regimental colours for parade and marched at the head of the battalion during reviews and inspections. “It should never be objected”, wrote Captain Bennet Cuthbertson, that a drum-major was “too great a coxcomb”, using a contemporary synonym for a dandy. On the contrary, a drum-major’s dress should promote vanity and self-importance, for it was “absolutely necessary for him to strut, and think himself a man of consequence” when leading his drummers on parade.1 A drum-major’s appearance was a source of regimental pride. According to a 1782 satirical work, this foppish figure was “the Paris, if not the Adonis” of a battalion, for “every judge of discipline will estimate the goodness of the corps by the taste and splendor of [his] trappings.”2 Unsurprisingly, the prestige associated with well-dressed drum-majors encouraged lavish expenditure; in 1813 the 1st Devon Militia paid the eye-watering sum of seventeen pounds, six shillings and eight pence for their “drum-major’s suit”, ceremonial baldric and “fine silver-laced hat” – more than six times the cost of an ordinary drummer’s cap and coat.3 This bill excluded the price of the drum-major’s finely engraved silver-mounted staff or cane, often almost as tall or taller than its wielder.4 Yet such showy extravagance sometimes caused confusion.

  • Museum's 50Th Year at Alnwick Castle St George's Day 2020 Friends Of
    St George’s Friends of The Day 2020 St George’s Day Greetings from the Fusiliers Museum of Northumberland Museum’s 50th Year at Alnwick Castle Marching Orders: From Fenham Barracks to Alnwick Castle 50 years ago It's ironic to be celebrating the Museum's 50th Anniversary at Alnwick Castle while the Museum, in common with all museums, is closed for an uncertain period. But sixty years ago it looked as if the Museum might close for good. Lt Colonel Reggie Pratt, who was Honorary Curator of the Museum for twenty-five years, from 1960 to 1985, tells the story in a briefing document he wrote when he retired. He explains that the Museum was established in the Regimental Depot at Fenham Barracks, in 1929. But by 1960 it had become clear the Museum would have to leave the Barracks. 'All attempts to find a permanent home in Newcastle having failed, the Duke of Northumberland was approached and kindly made the Abbot’s Tower available at Alnwick Castle.' The Army Museums Ogilby Trust employed a professional to design and install the displays, and the Museum opened at the Castle in 1970. Behind the walls of a Regimental Depot is not an easy location for visitor access. However Colonel Pratt writes that Alnwick Castle is 'a major attraction for visitors'; at the Museum 'Some 5,000 visitors are expected during the year'. He would be astounded to know that in 2019 the Museum had 91,214 visitors, in normal times a typical year. But he has a warning: 'There is a danger that MOD funding might be withdrawn at some time in the future'; it was, finally, over thirty years later, in 2017.

Service Honest and Faithful: The Thirty-Third Volunteer Infantry Regiment in the Philippine War, 1899-1901. Doctor of Philosophy (History), December 2017, 269 pp., bibliography, 72 primary resources, 97 secondary resources. This manuscript is a study of the Thirty-Third Infantry, United States Volunteers, a regiment that was recruited in Texas, the South, and the Midwest and was trained by officers experienced from the Indian Wars and the Spanish-American War. This regiment served as a front-line infantry unit and then as a constabulary force during the Philippine War from 1899 until 1901. While famous in the United States as a highly effective infantry regiment during the Philippine War, the unit's fame and the lessons that it offered American war planners faded in time and were overlooked in favor of conventional fighting. In addition, the experiences of the men of the regiment belie the argument that the Philippine War was a brutal and racist imperial conflict akin to later interventions such as the Vietnam War.
