The Annual General Meeting of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers Association, 11th May 2007, at Her Majesty's,
Tower of London, was attended by Commissioner, Alec Coleman, of the Legion of Frontiersmen Volunteer Reserve. The question
was asked; to clear a long vaunted assumption of an affiliation between the LF & the RRF. ‘Was there any affiliation
to the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, with the Legion of Frontiersman, in it this day and age?’
It was asserted that there no longer existed any affiliation between the two organisations and the
only one that persists is one of a historical nature, in the fact that the ‘Legion’ during a World War One, formed
the 25th Battalion of the Royal Fusiliers, this body was disbanded in 1919. That being the case, there no longer existed any
direct or substantive connection, (other than the historical one), with the Royal Fusiliers and any one who said otherwise,
would be perpetuating an assumption that had no substance whatsoever in fact.
