. CHARITABLE ADVERTISING on Web Site
There are many worthwhile charitable causes in existence, but we can only accept sponsorship or fundraising efforts on Fusilier Association websites, that specifically support approved Fusilier charities.
This essentially means that it is acceptable to use these pages to seek sponsorship for The Fusiliers Aid Society (which includes Fallen Fusiliers), and The Fusilier Memorial fund only.
We now have our own dedicated justgiving site (http://www.justgiving.com/fusiliersaidsociety), which you can use to help raise money for your cause. If you let RHQ (Asst Regt Sec) know the specific cause you are raising money for, it will be directed to the correct fund.
Messages soliciting sponsorship for causes or charities other than the Fusilier ones mentioned above should not be placed on the message board and may be removed by the Webmaster.
Messages posted in the last 24 hrs. are in White.
Fusilier Brides’ Wedding Dresses from the Past IP: 5.81.226.25 Posted on 22/11/2018 at 14:12:05 by Dennis Laverick for RHQ

Fusilier Brides’ Wedding Dresses from the Past
Assistance Required from the Regimental Family
The Fusilier Museum (Bury) will be holding an exhibition of weddingdresses worn by Fusilier brides from 1915 to 2015 opening in February 2019.
The oldest dress to feature in the display will be the wedding dress of Mrs Kathleen Sutcliffe who married Captain Jack Sutcliffe, an Officer of the 2/6th Battalion, Lancashire Fusiliers in 1915 before he went to France to fight in World War 1.
It is hoped that the display will feature a dress from each decade, showcasing the changing styles and tastes over the century. The museum is now trying to locate a wedding dress from the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, and 2010s. If you have a wedding dress that you would be willing to loan the museum, then please contact: sarah.stevenson@fusiliermuseum.com or ring Sarah on 0161 763 8962.
