The Royal Northumberland Fusiliers were originally raised in 1674 as the 5th Regiment of Foot. The unit received its regional designation in 1782 and became a fusilier unit in 1836. This badge dates from just before its amalgamation with other Fusilier Regiments in 1968 to form the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers.
