I thought the Lancashire Fusiliers used a yellow feather hackle, but came across info indicating they (also) used a primrose horse hair hackle....can anyone verify this?

The primrose feather hackle was worn in the beret (and following the demise of the Lancashire Fusiliers in 1968 passed to the Lorne Scots), the horsehair plume was worn in the fur cap.

Lancashire Fusiler Hackle
I found this photo of a Lancashire fusilier with his pith helmet including a hackle in a book about pith helmets, though it is accepted that a yellow hackle was worn, this photo seems to suggest otherwise. It's black and white photo, so the color can't be determined, but it doesn't appear to be light enough to be yellow....

Presumably the photographic process used made the yellow appear dark (often the case in old photos).
Someone will probably chip in with the technical stuff as to why. Edit: I checked the book that you found the photo in, assuming that Stuart would have text to the photo stating unit and hackle colour - it does, the image is actually captioned as being of a Lancashire Fusilier showing the "primrose hackle".

Are you looking for a Lancashire Fusiliers primrose yellow horse hair plume?

I am positive the hackle in question is Primrose yellow. Sometimes worn with the usual LF grenade flash on the FSH.
The LF flash is one of the most common Pagri flashes encountered these days. The basic design did not change for many years (although construction did) and it was also worn on the slouch hat in ww2 and after. CB |
