1st Battalion, Royal Ulster Rifles #3548907
Description
1 Royal Ulster Rifles 'The Stickies' June 1944, Ranville Code: nMBYK8v 86th Regiment was originally raised by General Cornelius Cuyler in Shropshire as ‘Cuyler’s Shropshire Volunteers’ but had difficulty recruiting sufficient numbers and moved to Leinster, Ireland and recruited as the ‘Irish Giants’. During the French Revolutionary Wars the 86th initially served as marines at The Battle of Groix, when elements of the British Channel Fleet defeated the French Atlantic Fleet but an opportunity to destroy the whole fleet was missed. The Regiment was also part of the 1801 Egypt Campaign which drove Napoleon’s Army out of Egypt and captured the French Island of Borbon (now Reunion). The 86th also served in India during the Indian Rebellion of 1857, fighting at the storming of the Jhansi fortress.
