The Fifth Fusiliers and its Badges
Good evening.
Shortly to be entirely superseded by the Second Edition, currently at the printers. This will be the definitive Volume on the badges of the Fifth, with the bulk of the items illustrated in colour and featuring a number of Rifle Volunteer items never previously seen, and probably never to be seen in public. Grab it while you can as there will only be 235 copies available. And once they are gone, there will be no more! Get your cash out now chaps. Enjoy. S.T.

The Fifth Fusiliers & its Badges.
Good afternoon.
To order a copy, either contact the author directly (details are in the last but one MHS Bulletin) or PM me your full name, and a delivery address. The latter course of action will probably be your best bet at present. Price is to be confirmed shortly and I will let you know as soon as that is to hand. Price will include delivery in the UK. Enjoy. S.T.

Lots of nice details and quality pics in colour and a lot of new items - probably known, but they weren't in the 1st Edition. Excellent source of reference and on a par with ALL the other BABF members contributions.
What we need is one on the cavalry regiments ("Any" regiment would be a good start) .......... ummmmmm. Well done ST for helping Denis out. Rgds, David
