The 95th Regiment of Foot, also known as the Rifles, was a British infantry regiment formed in 1800. It was established to provide light infantry capabilities, specializing in skirmishing tactics and marksmanship. The regiment played a significant role in the Napoleonic Wars, where its soldiers were known for their distinctive green uniforms and use of the Baker rifle. The 95th Regiment was involved in several key battles, including the Peninsular War and the Battle of Waterloo. Its effectiveness in open combat and adaptability to various terrains made it a valuable asset to the British Army. The regiment eventually became part of the Royal Green Jackets in 1966.
