The 60th Rifles, also known as the King's Royal Rifle Corps, have left an indelible mark on history with their valiant exploits. From the Assault-at-Arms by the London Rifle Brigade to the Capture of Cetewayo, their bravery knows no bounds. In the Battle of Schains Hoogte and Attack on Laings Nek under Sir G P Colley, these fearless soldiers proved their mettle against all odds. Their unwavering spirit shone brightly during The Revolt in Transvaal, leaving a lasting impression on all who witnessed it. As they embarked on various expeditions like The Chitral Expedition near Khar and The Reconnaissance in Force, they displayed exceptional courage and determination. Sketches at Victoria Docks captured their departure for the Zulu War alongside the 17th Lancers - a sight that stirred emotions far and wide. Their triumphs extended beyond Africa; they played pivotal roles in conflicts such as The War in Egypt and even The Revolt in India. Whether it was occupying Cairo or facing rebellion head-on, these riflemen were always at the forefront. Through engravings and lithographs depicting battles like Rietfontein or capturing Cetewayo once again, we are reminded of their remarkable legacy. These images serve as testaments to their unwavering commitment to duty and sacrifice for king and country. The 60th Rifles' story is one of honor, resilience, and gallantry that will forever be etched into history books. They exemplify what it means to be true warriors - brave souls who stood tall when faced with adversity.
