2nd/95th Rifles
The 2nd/95th Rifles was a British military unit during the 19th century, known for its flexibility, marksmanship, and rapid movement. Originally formed for specialized reconnaissance and skirmishing, it played a significant role in conflicts like the Crimean War and the Indian Mutiny. The unit emphasized light infantry tactics, using rifles instead of muskets for better accuracy, allowing them to engage at longer ranges. Their skills made them effective in difficult terrain and unconventional combat, complementing regular line infantry, and helping shape modern specialized military units.
