Why do royal welsh wear hackles?
Attached to the various types of fusilier headdress, including the modern beret, is the hackle. This is a short cut feather plume, the colour or colours of which varied according to the regiment. Initially, the only regiment authorised to wear a plume or hackle were the 5th Foot or Northumberland Fusiliers. They had originally adopted the white plumes of the defeated French troops in St Lucia in 1778. In 1829 King George IV ordered the white plume to be worn by all fusiliers regiments, in order not to take away the Fifth (Northumberland) Regiment of Foot's battle honour their plume was distinguished by being made red over white. This came from the legend that the men of the Fifth ( Northumberland) Regiment of Foot having dipped their white plumes in the blood of the defeated French at St. Lucia.

Not at all. It is a language rich in culture and history (probably the oldest living language in Europe), and still surviving, even thriving, today. Something of a miracle, considering the brash domineering of its next-door neighbour, English.
Like every language, it has a fundamental point to it: communication. Through its use, both historically and today, as a means of communication, it is by definition not pointless.
