  • Die Artists Rifles (ursprünglich mit Apostroph Artists’ Rifles) waren ein von 1859 bis 1945 unter verschiedenen Bezeichnungen bestehendes Regiment der Reserve der British Army, das sich durch seine besondere Zusammensetzung auszeichnete. Seine Angehörigen waren anfänglich in der Mehrzahl Personen aus künstlerischen Berufen im weiteren Sinn, darunter Maler, Bildhauer, Graveure, Musiker und Schauspieler, später dominierten Anwälte, Architekten, Ärzte und Ingenieure. Das Regiment wurde im Zweiten Burenkrieg und im Ersten Weltkrieg eingesetzt, während es im Zweiten Weltkrieg als Ausbildungseinheit für Offiziere fungierte. Das heutige 21 Special Air Service Regiment (Artists) (Reserve) und das 23 Special Air Service Regiment (Reserve) stehen in der Tradition der Artists Rifles. (de)
