History/Information
89th's Regimental Officer
 | The 89th was raised in 1793 as the 89th Regiment of Foot. In 1866, the title "Princess Victoria" was added to the regimental designation. On 1 July 1881, the 89th (The Princess Victoria's) Regiment amalgamated with the 87th to become the Second Battalion of The Princess Victoria's (Royal Irish Fusiliers). In 1920, the regimental title changed to The Royal Irish Fusiliers (Princess Victoria's). The regiment served in many battles in many different wars. Mostly Crimean, and many different Irish rebel uprisings. The regiment, as for Napoleonic Wars only really served as a garrison regiment from what we know, It was involved in the siege of Malta and a few skirmishes that went along with the siege. Even though our history is somewhat..stale we try our best to go and re-create the history and make it a tad more epic then it was.
The 89th Regiment of foot may have had a limited role in the Napoleonic Wars, the 89th had led an exemplementary example of military organization and success in other conflicts in later British history. They had shown excellence in the Anglo Zulu war as well as their service in India in later years. They had proudly served in Third Anglo-Maratha War, The First Anglo-Burmese War, The Portuguese Civil War, The First Anglo-Sikh War, The Crimean War, The Mahdist War, and World War I
At the siege on Malta, the 89th Regiment Of Foot was assigned role as the forlorn hope, the "first ones in the breach". To everyone's surprise the Ensign was happily going to be the first man in the breach. He knew it was a cetain death sentence but he was doing it for his regiment and his country. As he ran into the breach in the northwestern wall he gave a "GOD SAVE THE KING!". Ensign William Moore was killed when he set foot into the breach, but inspired by his brave charge, the rest of the men followed suit and played a major role in the taking of Malta. -Journal From Captain Thomas Clayworth, Officer In The 89th.
