The next regiment (p. 35) was raised in 1689 in Wales and the adjacent counties, and
has at various times been designated " The Prince of Wales's Own Royal Welsh
Fusiliers," " The Royal Welsh Fusiliers " (as it is called to-day )," The 23rd (or Royal) Regi-
ment of Welsh Fusiliers," and "The 23rd Regiment of Foot (or Royal Welsh Fusiliers)."
It should be noted that in 1740 there was only one Welsh-named officer in the regi-
