	Royal Welch Fusiliers
		In 1696, the 23d Regiment began to be known as the Royal Welch Fusiliers.
		On one of these occasions, no doubt mindful of the Regiment's declaration of loyalty during the mutiny, he is said to have expressed the wish that the Loyal Toast should be dispensed with as 'The loyalty of the Royal Welch is never in doubt'.
		Toby Percell was the Regiment's second-in-command who distinguished himself at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, and his spurs were worn by successive seconds-in-command until they were unfortunately lost in fire at Montreal in 1842.

		A Regiment is much about people and their character, character that has been influenced by fear, loyalty and bravery, fashioned and hardened by war.

		There are numerous instances where the parent regiments found themselves fighting side by side, in Marlborough’s campaigns, in the Crimea, at Memetz Wood in the Great War and finally, in 1944, in giving freedom to the city of 's Hertogenbosch in Holland.
