"87th: A Legacy of Honor and Courage" Step back in time to the early 19th century, where the Royal Irish Fusiliers proudly served their country. The hand-coloured aquatint from "Costume of the British Empire" showcases the distinguished uniform of a Sergeant and Privates of the 87th or Prince of Wales's Own Irish Regiment on Service, as per the Last Regulations published in 1813. Fast forward to a pivotal moment in history - April 22, 1915 - when a German gas attack forever changed warfare. Today, we honor those who fell during this horrific event with a solemn memorial that stands as a reminder of sacrifice and resilience. The glengarry badge worn by members of the 87th between 1874-81 reflects their unwavering loyalty and dedication. Crafted from metal, it symbolizes their commitment to duty and camaraderie. Transitioning to modern times, we witness an iconic aircraft soaring through the skies - Convair F-106A Delta Dart (57-0231) belonging to the United States Air Force. This powerful machine represents strength and precision, qualities shared by those who have served under the banner of the legendary 87th Infantry Division. In St Hubert lies another testament to bravery - an emblematic military badge that embodies unity among soldiers who fought side by side for a common cause. It serves as a constant reminder that together they were unstoppable. But not all heroes wear uniforms; some take center stage. Charles Macklin was one such hero - an actor whose talent captivated audiences during his time. His portrayal brought stories alive and provided solace amidst turmoil. Lastly, let us remember D'Annunzio's propaganda drop over Vienna during World War I. Though controversial at its core, it highlights how even unconventional methods were employed for victory. Through these glimpses into history spanning centuries, we pay tribute to the indomitable spirit of the 87th.
