GUEST,JonJos | Origins: McAlpine's Fusiliers (Dominic Behan?) (67* d) | Origins: Nickname: McAlpines Fusiliers | 29 Oct 09 |
The Nickname "McAlpines Fusiliers" came from a platoon of a regiment: "The Royal Irish Fusiliers". Which was made up mostly of men from the South of Ireland and who had worked for Wimpey or McAlpine. |
