"1st March 1775, this being St. David's Day the officers of the 23rd Regiment or Royal Welch Fusiliers, dinner together according to the custom. All the general & Staff officers, the Admiral, and several other persons were invited to dine with the Regiment..."
From the diary of Lieutenant Frederick MacKenzie
23rd Regiment of Foot or Royal Welch Fusiliers
On this day I hope a Happy Saint David's Day to the Welch, and to all Royal Welch Fusiliers, both past and present.
Nice to see your traditional St David's Day post, Mark. I hope all is well with you?
