Army is its regimental system which is the source of its fighting strength and the envy of other armies. Many of its traditions go back to 1685, to the time of the Monmouth
Rebellion, when James II raised several regiments, some of which survive to this day.
Ivan Rendall tells the story of one of those regiments, the one the King called 'Our Royal
Regiment of Fuzileers' which, after three centuries of unbroken service, now forms part of the modern Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. Producer ANNE HOWELLS
