Hard to find a military dimension to this peace-loving, tee-totaller, who refused to eat meat preferring leeks, drank only water and would not use oxen to plough the fields! A stylised version of St David’s Flag was used as the shoulder badge of the 38th infantry #StDavidsDay

The RHF shop celebrates Rabbie Burns with a special window display. Rabbie, an Ayrshire man, was a soldier in the local militia, The Royal Scots Fusiliers formed in 1678, was designated the county regiment of Ayrshire in the Caldwell Reforms of 1881, so virtually one of our own!
