I am ''assuming'' that fusilier officers wear more than a hat. Now, assuming that these fellows aren't walking around in the buff, shouldn't this sentence be reworded? [[User:Mr. G. Williams|Mr. G. Williams]] 03:17, 17 March 2007 (UTC) |

What lacks here: |
|||
Etymology; ''fusil'' is the French word for rifle, so fusilier MAY literally mean rifle man. Anyone may expand this with citations to make one "Etymology" section of the article. |
|||
Maybe it would also be very useful was there any information on a fusilier's modern designation. This could explain whether modern fusiliers are ceremonial or maybe they still fight in other countries. If the regimental designation has stopped entering combat in a certain time, when then? This may apply on the countries featured on the article. |
