25 JUNE 1930 – ON THIS DAY IN RWF HISTORY


Presentation of the ‘Royal Welch Fusiliers March’ by Sousa to the Regiment, 1930

The warm feelings that had existed between the Regiment and the United States Marine Corps resulting from shared experiences with 2 RWF in China in 1900, led to the composition of a march, The Royal Welch Fusiliers by Lieut Comdr JP Sousa of the US Naval Reserve. It was presented personally by Sousa to the Colonel of the Regiment at Tidworth in the presence of an American delegation.
