[Londnred]

THE INNISKILLINGS

The 27th (Enniskillen) Regiment of Foot
"The Skins"

The colours of the Regiment at Waterloo
The Regiment Historically Recruited from the Counties (in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland) of Tyrone and Fermanagh (Modern  Northern Ireland(UK)) and Leitrim, Donegal, Cavan and Sligo (Modern Repubic of Ireland).
we Represent the 1st battalion (the only one present at Waterloo) of the 3 battalion 27th Foot (Which was also the only Irish Regiment/Battalion present on the day), and thus have companies instead of some regiments who have battalions
During trainings and LBs we are historically orientated and disciplined but, once offical training is over we usually do some fun random stuff like artillerying bots and stuff.

A brief history of "The Skins" By me, Colonel John Griffin, created from my own Research on the Internet, in books, and of course at the Regimental Museum in Enniskillen:

(click to show/hide)

The Regiment was formed in 1688 by Colonel Zachariah Tiffin to defend Enniskillen (County Fermanagh, Ireland (Present Day Northern Ireland) from the Jacobite army during the Williamite wars in Ireland along with a regiment of Dragoons which later became the 6th (Enniskillen) Dragoons and are currently part of the Royal Dragoon Guards (I shall write no more of them in this as this history concerns the foot Regiment). At this time, regiments were not numbered, but named after their colonel, so the regiment was called Colonel Tiffin's Regiment. The Regiment was more of a militia at this time and made expeditions out into the surrounding Area to fight the Jacobites of King James, including the Battle of Newtownbutler (sometimes called the Battle of Enniskillen). So succesful were these expeditions that the regiment (And the Dragoons) were incorporated into the Army of King William the Third. After this it fought in the famous Battle of the Boyne (1690).

It was next stationed in the Low Countries (the Netherlands), where it was present at the Siege of Namur (1695.) During the next 50 years it served in places such as Minorca, Spain and the West Indies. It took part in the Battles of Falkirk and Culloden During the Jacobite Rising of 1745. In 1751, regiments began to be numbered, and the Enniskillen regiment became the 27th (Enniskillen) Regiment of Foot. "Enniskillen" was the oldest territorial title in the line infantry of the British army. During the Seven Years War (1756-63) the regiment fought in North America and the west Indies against the French. In 1778 the regiment was again sent to fight in the American Revolutionary War, where it fought in the West Indies against the French, who had an Alliance with the Americans. The war against the French came to an End in 1783. 

In 1793 the French Revolutionary Wars broke out. In 1796 the Regiment took part in the Battle/Siege of St Lucia where its colours were displayed on the flagstaff there for an Hour before a Union flag was put up. This had never before, or since happened to a regiment.The regiment then fought in the Low Countries  (again, the Netherlands) and Egypt where it took part in the Battle of Alexandria (1801), The second battalion was in the Garrison of that city after the battle.The First Battalion Distinguished itself at Maida in Italy (1806.) The 2nd and 3rd Battalions took part in the Penninsular war in such battles as Badajoz (1812), Salamanca (1812), Vitoria (1813), Pyrenees (1813), Nivelle (1813, Again), Orthez (1814), and Toulouse (1814.)

The Regiment's First Battalion (the one We Represent) was the only Irish regiment/Battalion Present at Waterloo (1815) The battalion started the day with 698 men and Officers and ended with 103 killed and 373 wounded. The Regiment was stated by Wellington to have saved the centre of his line. Between 1837 and 1847 the regiment fought in several Native wars in South Africa.In 1840 the spelling of Enniskillen in the Regiments name was Changed to Inniskilling (archaic Spelling). The Regiment served in India between 1854 and 1868 where it was involved in Supressing the Indian Mutiny and Keeping law and order in North-West India.

In 1881 the regiment was Amalgamated with the 108th Regiment of Foot to become the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers. This regiment fought in the Second Boer war, the Tirah campaign of 1897 in India, The First World War, the Second World War (They Fought in Burma, Tunisia, and Italy, Among other places.), Malaya, and Kenya. In 1968 the Regiment was amalgamated with the Royal Ulster Rifles and the Royal Irish Fusiliers to become the Royal Irish Rangers, which served in places like Bosnia and Northern Ireland. In 1992 the Regiment was Amalgamated again with the Ulster Defence Regiment to become the Royal Irish Regiment (27th (Inniskilling) 83rd and 87th and Ulster Defence Regiment). The Royal Irish served recently Iraq and Afganistan.

This Brings the regiment up to the Present day.

Thanks!

All training canceled till we get 10 people due to the fact that the HM won't let us have our TS back till we have 10 people and as a concequense no one will want to join a regiment that doesn't have teamspeak or Trainings and in the end i will most likely have no choice but to disband.  Infact ignore that bit, I'm not gonna disband, its just never gonna have a team speak or any recruits.

[FatalJoker]

Good luck there, and if you have teamspeak problems we might be able to help ^^
add haakon521 to steam and i might get you a spot in our TS server.
