Every year The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers hold a splendid cocktail party at the steps of their Regimental HQ and Officers Mess in the Tower of London. The Master and Clerk were delighted to attend this year's event on 29 July.

It's always good to catch up with liverymen who are Fusiliers, and to meet current serving officers from across the UK as well as the other guests. The Past Master Poulter, Reg Beer, and the Master found they had many historical interests in common.
