20th October 2015 Speaker night
On Tuesday 20th October the club were given an interesting insight into the history of The Royal Welsh (or Welch) Fusiliers from Rtn. Philip, who still has a very close assosiation with the regiment. Our photo shows Rotarians Gwynn, Peter, Bryn, Dilwyn, President John and our speaker, Rtn Philip Eyton-Jones inspecting an original plan of the Wrexham Barracks.
The Regimental Museum … Formed in late 1950’s by Gen Sir Hugh Stockwell who realised that there was a need for recruits to learn about the Regiment. They took over the top floor of the keep at Wrexham Barracks. Philip went on to recount a fascinating story, covering the formation and development of the Museum in the years up until the present…. Philip was thanked by Elfed for presenting a comprehensive history of the Regiment. We welcomed as a guest of Philip, Phil Gallagher to the meeting
