A bit more info

The Royal Dublin Fusiliers was an infantry regiment of the British Army. The regiment was created on 1 July 1881 by the amalgamation of the 102nd Regiment of Foot (Royal Madras Fusiliers) and the 103rd Regiment of Foot (Royal Bombay Fusiliers) to form the 1st and 2nd Battalions, The Royal Dublin Fusiliers.
