In 54 I was 18 then, I did six months training in Ballymena with the then Royal Ulster Rifles (Anzio squad) same outfit different regimental name now, the pipes and bugles looked smarter then in my humble opinion, but they still look smart now, I feel proud to have been in the Regiment, after 6 months training I did 18 months in Wuppertal Northern Germany, and I would estimate that probably 3/4 of the regiment came from the London area, I'll never forget those two years, did me a world of good, back then only the bugle brigade had plumes, and with the troops everything was black, badge, ampulets, buttons ect, and regimental parades were 180 steps per minute with 303 at the trail, Thanks rjave for sharing,

That is not correct. You need to read up the history a bit more to see where the Regiments that made up the Royal Irish Regiment started. This is a proud tradition Carried in since 1689 and later when there were many Irish Regiments in the British Army with thousands of soldiers serving. The use of Irish is a tradition that is carried on wit this regiment and the Irish Guards as both regiments recruit from all sections of the community in Northern Ireland and and in the Republic of Ireland.

Why are the Royal Irish wearing plumes with combat fatigue's? Surely it should be the green beret?
@Sammy1234568910

The Royal Irish don't wear berets. They wear caubeen bonnets. The green hackle denotes their fusilier traditions of one of their antecedent regiments The Royal Irish Fusiliers. Likewise the cap badge is that of the Ulster Defence Regiment another one of their forerunners. The green tunics originally came from the Royal Ulster Rifles, and the castle badge on their collars came from the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers. The pipers kilts also have the badges of the Irish Fusiliers, Ulster Rifles and Inniskillings on the right hand side.

hutch1111111 yes, just like the Royal Regiment of Scotland wear Tam O'Shanters instead of berets, the Royal Irish wear caubeens. The London Irish also wear caubeens. in Other Irish regiments like the Irish Guards, 152 North Irish Regiment or the Queens Royal Hussars & Royal Dragoon Guards the caubeen is only worn by pipers.

At the time of formation their were 7 home service battalions, who were continuations of the Ulster Defence Regiment. The UDR alway wore berets, these soldiers continued to wear berets until caubeens were provided, most soldiers in these battalions preferred berets to caubeens as they were more easy to shape. The home service battalions were disbanded in 2007 with the end of military operations in Northern Ireland. The 1st & 2nd (General Service) battalions have always wore caubeens.
