Their full dress headdress of black shako with cocks’-feather plume has been retained to this day. The tunic was changed in 1913 to rifle-green with black facings. Three battalions of the L.R.B. were under arms in the Great War, two of which served overseas, the 1st Battalion disembarking in France on the regimental birthday, Nov 5th, 1914.
