Max Posted 21 January , 2005 Share Posted 21 January , 2005 Hello Alison The regiment is the 108th Regiment of Foot, commonly known as the Madras Infantry. In July 1881 they united with the 27th Regiment of Foot (Inniskilling) to form the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers (the 108th element becoming the 2nd Bn).

Ali Hollington Posted 21 January , 2005 Share Posted 21 January , 2005 I believe Fulwood barracks is still in use, last I knew it was home to a field ambulance. Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste Posted 21 January , 2005 Share Posted 21 January , 2005 I believe Fulwood barracks is still in use, last I knew it was home to a field ambulance. Ali It is indeed. It is home to the Queen's Lancashire Regiment, and their fine museum. S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
