  • anyone know why the minden band wear white plumes in their fusilier caps? the royal regiment of fusiliers wear red over white hackles on their berets as do the corps of drums in their caps. the royal fusiliers used to have white hackles.. ,when the fusilier brigade became the royal regiment of fusiliers they adopted the red and white hackle of the royal northumberland fusiliers....is the band T.A ? just curious..marty

  • 1st August - Minden Day. According to Wikipedia: "Minden Day is a regimental anniversary celebrated on August 1 by certain units of the British Army. It commemorates the participation of the forerunners of the regiments in the Battle of Minden on that date in 1759. The celebration of the day involves the wearing of "Minden Roses" on the regimental head dress, and, in the case of the infantry regiments, the decoration of the regimental colours with garlands of roses."
