The London Irish Volunteers were founded at the Freemasons’ Tavern, Great Queen Street on the 5th of December 1859 during concerns over the threats posed by Napoleon III, and which prompted the rise in the Victorian Volunteer Movement. The Marquess of Donegall presided at the original general meeting. The formal formation of the Regiment took place in February 1860, and at that time was named the 28th Middlesex (London Irish) Rifle Volunteer Corps. The original maximum establishment was a Captain Commandant, 1 Captain, 2 Lieutenants, 2 Ensigns and 200 men of all ranks. Its first uniform was grey with green facings, and a triple sprig of silver shamrock in metal, together with the old fashioned shako bearing a bunch of cock’s feathers. The Regiment’s first parade numbered 60, with the Marquess of Donegall as Commandant. Enrolled members had to pay an entrance fee of 1/2 a guinea, and also an annual subscription of 1 guinea. Honorary members paid 5 guineas, and 1 guinea annual subscription and were allowed to wear the uniform of the corps with the exception of the cross belt. | (https://i.imgur.com/Fvn2S8k.png) Freemasons’ Tavern. |

In 1872, after several changes in address, the HQ of the regiment moved again back to the Strand where it then remained for more than 20 years. At that time, the strength of the battalion had fallen to 786 men, after a number of resignations (from a peak of 1170 in the 1860s). The Marquess of Donegall continued as Commandant for several more years until ill health struck and he was eventually succeeded in 1883 by Colonel James Ward. In 1877, the officers’ uniform was ordered to be the same as the 60th Rifles and other standards were changed so that men could not be less than 5 foot 6 inches or more than 5 foot 10 inches in height. On the occasion of the Duke of Connaught’s marriage in March 1879, the officers of the London Irish Rifles presented him with a silver table centre-piece with the names of the officers then serving being engraved thereon. |

Marksman Badges Musketry is trained regularly within the regiment. Those who score the most during these marksman contests will be awarded a marksman badge. These badges will only be awarded during and through training. Once a man with four marksman badges reaches his fifth, he will hold the title of "Best Shot of Company". The title is held until another man bests the current holder, in which the new victor will be assigned the title; previous title holders will simply be reduced to their fourth marksman badge and will have to re-earn the title. "Best Shot of Battalion" is held through a monthly competition only among those who have earned "Best Shot of Company" or their fourth marksman badge, and the winner will recieve said title for that month and for as long as they win each monthly competition. | (https://i.imgur.com/vtpgzyQ.png) Marksman Badge. |
(https://i.imgur.com/i9uQfLC.png) Good Conduct Badge. | Good Conduct Badges Good conduct badges are awarded to enlisted men for good conduct during service in the regiment. Each badge will be awarded based on time within the regiment with no act of insubordination or malconduct that requires disciplinary action during said time periods. Any of such will result in a badge to be removed, and for a renewal of the current time period. Those would then have to start from the last badge earned and work their way up again. |
