New Page Title

Since the formation of The Rifles Regiment, Rifleman have had to make the ultimate sacrifice and give their lives in the line of duty. Many more have been injured. In these columns you can read their names, you can see a summary of the events leading to their deaths. This page is included so that we will never forget the sacrifice they made.

We of The Rifles Living History Society chose our group name long before the formation of the regiment. For those listed below there will be no opportunity for hobbies, no pleasent weekends. Therefore in no way do we compare what we do or portray as equivilent to the service and sacrifice of the Professional Rifleman!

Remembered with honour below.
