The Queens Colour The Regimental Colour PAGE 4 ANNUAL NEWSLETTER OF THE LORNE SCOTS (PEEL DUFFERIN & HALTON) REGIMENT Honorary Colonel’s Message It has been my pleasure to be the Honorary Colonel for The Lorne Scots these past eight months. Honorary Colonel John McDermid has left some big shoes to fill. My task is to build on the great work that he, and others have given to the Regiment. Since my appointment March 3, 2011, I have represented the Regiment at nine major events and attended nu- merous Regimental Association meetings. The first event was our 145 year Anniversary Gala. And what a gala it was. Hosted by our Association with Honorary Colonel McDermid acting as Master of Ceremonies, it was very special to have the Duke and Duchess of Argyll, head of the Campbell Clan, in attendance. In June we had the change of Honorary Colonel Ceremony at the Colonel John R. Barber Armoury in George- town. Commanding Officer LCol Phelps, Honorary Colonel of the Army Honorary Colonel Goldring, Honorary Colo- nel McDermid and I participated, along with many of our troops. Our troops performed splendidly. In August, RSM Murphy and I attended Maple Defender exercises at the Canadian Manoeuvre Training Centre in Wainwright, Alberta. Over 1,000 reservists, including some Lorne Scots and US National Guard units, participated in the training. It was very real and practical training for our troops. During September I was privileged to attend the Honoraries conference in Kitchner, Ontario. Land Forces Cen- tral Area (LFCA) Commander Brigadier General Lewis and Deputy Commander Brigadier General Chapman hosted 30 Honoraries from across Ontario. Discussions included the role of LFCA, our responsibilities and what we could do to support our troops and connect with the communities we live in. In October our Association had a display at the Annual Royal Canadian Military Institute's Military Band Con- cert at Roy Thompson Hall in Toronto. The bands played to a packed house and we heard some great music. Hundreds of visitors stopped by our Lorne Scots display and asked questions about our Regiment. November was a busy month for the Regiment. I was honoured to attend the Lorne Scots Warrant Officers and Sergeants Mess Dinner at the Brampton Armoury. There was great fun, fellowship and celebration. And what would a mess dinner be without the "ode to the haggis"! I chaired my first Senate meeting in November. I have not seen a more dedicated group in any organization. They freely give their time and talent to honour and support our troops and the traditions of our Regiment. Well done gentlemen! Our Regiment was well represented at the Annual True Patriot Love tribute dinner, that was held in Toronto. Over a dozen Lorne Scots and their spouses attended. The dinner raised in excess of two million dollars which goes to support our veterans and their families. General Walt Natynczyk was the guest speaker. On the 11th hour of the 11th day our Commanding Officer LCol Phelps, our troops, our Pipe & Drum band and I attended the Remembrance Day service in Brampton. We laid a wreath at the Memorial Square Cenotaph at City Hall. Hundreds from the community were in attendance for this very moving ceremony. It was a fine tribute to our veterans and fallen comrades. In January I will present to our Commanding Officer a draft of a three year strategic plan, that will seek to high- light things our Regiment and Regimental friends and family can do, to "support our troops" and to "connect with the communities we live in". All major stakeholders of the Regiment will be asked for their feedback on what we should be doing in these areas. Let me close by saying the future of our Regiment has never been brighter. Our Lorne Scots have strong leader- ship, rich traditions and a great willingness to serve our country. I am proud to be a Lorne Scot. Gary D. Reamey Honorary Colonel The Lorne Scots (Peel, Dufferin, and Halton Regiment) ANNUAL NEWSLETTER OF THE LORNE SCOTS (PEEL DUFFERIN & HALTON) REGIMENT The State of the Regiment As this year comes to an end we can look back at our accomplishments with pride. 2011 has been an ex- tremely busy year and as we enter 2012 and our tempo continues to increase our workload will likely break the sound barrier by August! I am pleased to say that all of our soldiers who deployed to Afghanistan were back safe and sound with their families by the end of June. With Rotation 1 of Operation Attention ramping up we can anticipate that more deployments will follow.

  • The Fusilier Origins in Tower Hamlets the Tower Was the Seat of Royal

    The Fusilier Origins in Tower Hamlets the Tower Was the Seat of Royal

    The Fusilier Origins in Tower Hamlets The Tower was the seat of Royal power, in addition to being the Sovereign’s oldest palace, it was the holding prison for competitors and threats, and the custodian of the Sovereign’s monopoly of armed force until the consolidation of the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich in 1805. As such, the Tower Hamlets’ traditional provision of its citizens as a loyal garrison to the Tower was strategically significant, as its possession and protection influenced national history. Possession of the Tower conserved a foothold in the capital, even for a sovereign who had lost control of the City or Westminster. As such, the loyalty of the Constable and his garrison throughout the medieval, Tudor and Stuart eras was critical to a sovereign’s (and from 1642 to 1660, Parliament’s) power-base. The ancient Ossulstone Hundred of the County of Middlesex was that bordering the City to the north and east. With the expansion of the City in the later Medieval period, Ossulstone was divided into four divisions; the Tower Division, also known as Tower Hamlets. The Tower Hamlets were the military jurisdiction of the Constable of the Tower, separate from the lieutenancy powers of the remainder of Middlesex. Accordingly, the Tower Hamlets were sometimes referred to as a county-within-a-county. The Constable, with the ex- officio appointment of Lord Lieutenant of Tower Hamlets, held the right to call upon citizens of the Tower Hamlets to fulfil garrison guard duty at the Tower. Early references of the unique responsibility of the Tower Hamlets during the reign of Bloody Mary show that in 1554 the Privy Council ordered Sir Richard Southwell and Sir Arthur Darcye to muster the men of the Tower Hamlets "whiche owe their service to the Towre, and to give commaundement that they may be in aredynes for the defence of the same”1.

    THE 7th ROYAL FUSILIERS IN THE CRIMEAN WAR With THE MEDAL ROLL (As far as could be confirmed) 1854 – 1856 Compiled By J P Kelleher 2013 1854: Nearly forty years had passed since the Royal Fusiliers saw active service, when Russia, seeking in her ambition to overwhelm Turkey, was arrested in her aggression by the united action of England and France. The two Powers declared war against the Czar on the 27th.March 1854, and the British force was sent to south-eastern Europe, under command of Lord Raglan- who as Lord Fitzroy Somerset had earned distinction under Wellington. The Royal Fusiliers, were amongst the first regiments ordered to be brought up to war strength. They were quartered at Manchester, and the North of England was their recruiting ground. During the early spring, the Regiment was raised to full establishment, and drilled into one of the smartest, and most solid battalions in the service. On Tuesday, the 4th.April 1854, the Royal Fusiliers: Headquarters and 8 companies; consisting of 3 Field officers, 8 Captains, 14 Lieutenants, 5 Staff, 46 Sergeants, 15 Drummers, 850 Rank and File, and 25 women – under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Walter Lacy Yea, entrained at Manchester for Southampton, where they embarked the same evening on board the transport „Orinoco‟. After touching at Gibralter and Malta, the transport disembarked her troops at Scutari, on the 22nd. Here the regiment was brigaded with the 23rd and 33rd. Foot, under Brigadier General Richard Airey. Airey‟s Brigade, with the 19th, 77th, 88th. and 2nd Rifle Brigade, formed the Light Division, commanded by Lord George Brown.

Others are slang or metaphors that have found their way into everyday speech. You might be using military terms without even realising it! As you explore the displays in the Soldiers and Chiefs exhibition, you might find some unfamiliar terms. This information booklet provides definitions for a number of military words, grouped into these categories: • Kinds of Soldiers • Army Ranks • Army Weapons 1 Kinds of Soldiers This set of military terms for different kinds of soldiers will help you to become familiar with the terminology used in the exhibitions. Some of these terms are no longer used in today’s armies.
