Information. The Royal Welch Fusiliers were raised at Ludlow, on the 16th March 1689 and has seen continuous service ever since. The regiment first saw action at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 and has been involved in nearly every campaign of the British Army. During the Second WOrld War The Royal Welch Fusiliers raised 13 battalions, five of which saw action in North West Europe, Madagascar, and Burma. This is a photo of my father Radcliffe Blythin (Rac - Jeep was his nickname) and the rest of his company in Belfast (1940?). He is third from the left front row. He joined up in November 1939, the Royal Welch Fusiliers. He was transferred to the Royal Leicesters 13th Battalion in 1943 and saw service in Africa and Italy and finished the war in Austria. He was demobbed in 1946 and sadly died in 1960 so I don't know a lot about his war years. Jeff Blythin Photographs If you have any Photographs you would like to share please get in touch.
