Royal Welch Fusileers Musicians Tunic

I got this from the Regimental Depot in 1989. Does anyone know what pattern / model this is and from what period? Are the buttons and badges available? Regards, Steve T

Its a 1906 pattern bandsman's tunic. Probably dating from ww1 period. Royal welsh fusiliers tunics had the removable green ceremonial 'shoulder wings'. so you will need to get a pair of those as well. Buttons and insigna are available on ebay sometimes. I have a victorian sidecap to this regiment that is dark blue with red crown piping and a red felt backed flaming bomb badge.

Thanks for the info..i forgot all about the 'wings' on these tunics. Do you know what the year code is for this one?

Regards,

I have a grenadier guards tunic dated 1912 on the paper label and the WD stamp code is C. Not sure but that may make your B stamp 1911 date by my reasoning.

I like your logic. 1911 it is then! Thanks
