The Rifle Brigade honors the legacy of the 95th Rifles through tradition and ceremony.

In 1816, following the conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars, the 95th Rifles were reorganized and officially renamed The Rifle Brigade (Prince Consort’s Own). This reorganization expanded their size and consolidated their traditions, ensuring the continuation of their legacy. Today, the heritage of the 95th Rifles is preserved in this formation and in various ceremonial contexts. (National Army Museum: Rifle Brigade)
