The Artists Rifles is a regiment of the British Army Reserve. Raised in London in 1859 as a volunteer light infantry unit, the regiment saw active service during the Second Boer War and World War I, earning a number of battle honours. It did not serve outside Britain during World War II, as it was used as an officer training unit at that time. The regiment was disbanded in 1945 but in 1947, it was re-established to resurrect the Special Air Service Regiment. Today, the full title of the Regiment is 21 Special Air Service Regiment (Artists) (Reserve) (21 SAS(R)) and with 23 Special Air Service Regiment (Reserve) (23 SAS(R)), it forms the Special Air Service (Reserve) (SAS(R)).
History
Formation and 19th century
The regiment was formed in 1859, part of the widespread volunteer movement which developed in the face of potential French invasion after Felice Orsini's attack on Napoleon III was linked to Britain. The group was organised in London by Edward Sterling, an art student, and comprised various professional painters, musicians, actors, architects and others involved in creative endeavours; a profile it strove to maintain for some years. It was established on 28 February 1860 as the 38th Middlesex (Artists') Rifle Volunteer Corps, with headquarters at Burlington House. Its first commanders were the painters Henry Wyndham Phillips and Frederic Leighton. The unit's badge, designed by J. W. Wyon, shows the heads of the Roman gods Mars and Minerva in profile. Until 1914 the regimental full dress uniform was light grey with white facings, silver buttons and braid. This distinctive uniform dated from the regiment's foundation as a volunteer unit. After World War I standard khaki was the normal dress.
A new recruit arrives at Duke's Road. He is interviewed by the Recruiting Officer. The volunteer then undergoes a medical exam and swears Oath of Allegiance before his training starts with a map reading exercise, shooting practice at Bisley with Sterling sub-machine gun and 9mm Browning pistol, and fieldcraft exercise on Brecon Beacons.
He is then seen in the Regimental Bar at Duke’s Road with veterans most probably from the First World War and purchases the regimental tie. He then takes part in training at Joint Services Amphibious Warfare Centre (located near Poole, Dorset) continues with instruction in Klepper canoes and Gemini rubber boat fitted with Seagull outboard motor, ending with insertion skills training with frogmen.

It was an Army regiment formed in the 19th century that was quite unlike any other.
The "Artists Rifles" were made up of some of Britain's most established artists, poets and writers.
But why swap paintbrushes for weapons?
The work produced by members of the regiment is now on display in Basingstoke.

The UK's Most Secretive Black Ops Unit: The 'E Squadron'
The UK's Most Secretive Black Ops Unit: The 'E Squadron'
A special forces unit hailed in so much secrecy and shadow, it could serve well in a James Bond movie. That’s something that would be perfect to describe the UK’s E Squadron, or The Increment, as they are referred to. It is a secret unit within the SAS and work directly with the MI6 intelligence agency, for only the most secretive and highly classified missions. Apparently, there is a unit within the 22nd SAS that has even more dangerous and covert missions assigned to them.
Please note that most of the pictures are purely to form an impression. Actual pictures of E Squadron do not exist and that's probably for a reason. We are aware of this and did our best to find the next best thing close to it.
