FUSILIERS, FUSILEERS, or Fuzileers, in the military art, are soldiers armed as the rest of the infantry, but wearing caps like the grenadiers, though somewhat shorter. There are three regiments in the British service: the royal regiment of Scots fuzileers raised in 1678; the royal regiment of English fuzileers raised in 1685; and the royal regiment of Welsh fuzileers raised in 1688-9.
