The Kit / Subject.
This was a very difficult subject to research as there is very little information about. I would like to thank Ruth Evans and the rest of the staff at the Regiments Museum for all the help & assistance in producing this piece.
This Bust is based on the R Simkin print of a Piper of the 3rd Battalion (Tyrone Militia ) Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers 1900. The Tyrone Militia was one of the two Militia battalions that made up the reserve for the Inniskilling Fusiliers. As The Tyrone Militia did not fall in with the remit of Mick’s Mick’s . Enquiries were made with the museum and I was informed that the 1st Btn, ( 27th Foot prior to 1881) Did have traditional Irish Pipers as far back as the late 1700 s. But it is my understanding that they remained in Ireland. It is my belief that they were on the books in either the corps of Drums or the Band and wore the traditional Irish Pipers dress for Officers Mess functions and high days & holidays. They first appeared in England at Bournemouth in 1910. Where they wore a normal Bandsman uniform.
As stated above This Bust is based on the best information to hand and a little best guessing.
In relation to the Tunic & Shawl colour I have received differing accounts.
The Museum stated.
French Gray Tunic & Shawl.
Other reliable sources have said a combination of:-
French Gray Tunic, Dark Green Shawl.
Dark Green Tunic, French Gray Shawl.
Dark Green Tunic & Shawl.
Below is the R Simkin print which was the inspiration for this Bust
Further Pictures will follow.
