message: I know this probably won't interest most readers here but i would like to put the record straight on the "participants"of the above mentioned hit record,seeing as i am one of the original band members on the recording.The "Editorial"on the Scots D Gs site says"The Pipes and Drums"had a hit with Amazing Grace.This is not true because it was made by The Pipes and Drums and Military Band of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards(although reading the editorial on the  site you would'nt think so),it was also arranged by the Bandmaster of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards Military Band.Without both bands recording it certainly would not have reached number 1 for 5 weeks so its very annoying not to have credit where credits due,it always appears to be just the Pipes and Drums,no mention of the Military Band.There were nearly 60 musicians on the record,not just the 25 or so in the Pipe Band.Nobbyclarke (talk) 17:33, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Royal Scots Fusiliers

message: I'm linking to this from other pages so I've updated this and I wanted to include the changes on here (there are a lot :));
The Earl of Mar's Regiment of Foot ('Mar's Grey Breeks') (1678–1695); Dates are wrong - regiments changed names with the Colonel so in 1689 it became O'Farrell's Regiment; 
Stuart loyalist Charles Erskine, de jure 5th Earl of Mar; confused with his son, who in any case was a supporter of William until his death in 1702 etc;
...however, when he fled to Ireland, it opted to serve Prince William of Orange; not correct and not what Cannon says.

thread_title:  2018 Update 

message: As a former member British Army I know this is a sensitive topic :), so I'm not wedded to a specific answer but...
Naming; as explained in the article, regiments were originally named after their Colonel and names changed when they got a new one; that continued at least until 1710.
In his History, Cannon refers to North British Fusiliers or 21st, rather than Royal Scots or O'Farrell's etc - but this seems to have been a decision that kept it simple because that's not what they were listed as in Army Lists of this period.
Fusilier; Cannon states 1691 as when the regiment became O'Farrell's Fusiliers; the assumption is that it comes from fusil but Fusilier regiments all had an exploding bomb tag (like grenadiers) so it probably relates to grenades not fusil. That would seem to be confirmed by the fact only Fusilier regiments, the Grenadier Guards plus one or two others were later allowed to use the British Grenadiers.

Talk:Royal Tank Regiment

message: Just did a major revision of the site, rearranged paragraphs in date order, corrected a few points, added some info but mainly just reorganised how info is shown.
Just how much information should be provided on the Armoured Car Companies? The most obvious thing to include is a list of the Yeomanry Regts that converted. However, I don't want to put too much info in as it would be straying away from the subject - after all the page is about the RTR and the Armoured cars were RTC (although it seems that the Westminster Dragoons enjoyed 5 months in the RTR)
During the north african campaign, a large number of dummy tanks were built as part of the plan to deceive the axis forces as to the whereabouts of allied armour. These tanks were grouped into Regiments - the wiki article mentions the creation of 4 such units in 1941, without saying what the unit designations were. One source lists 10 Regiments and suggests that they were part of the RTR; another source confirms the id of 3 units and says they were in the 74th Armoured (Tank?) Bde in October 1942. If these truly were in the RTR, I would really appreciate some good sources.
Finally, saw a snippet that suggested the Scorpion Regt that was formed in 1943 was RTR. Regiments.org says RAC, but I've learnt from experience that its not too wise to overly rely on it.Glevum (talk) 02:45, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Talk:South Lancashire Regiment

message: I don't mean to be pendantic, and I'm not exactly a military history buff. However, Warrington should be listed as Lancashire on this page for the following reasons;
1) The Regiment was created in 1881, before the Local Government Act of 1888. The Regiment was therefore based on what we now call 'historic' or 'ancient counties' of which Warrington is still apart of.
2) Even if we do suppose applying the administrative policy. The Regiment was disbanded in 1958. 14 years before the boundary changes of LGA of 1972. Therefore the Regiment was always based in Lancashire historically and administratively.
3) The contentious reason that it is nonsensical to have a Regiment County stationed in another county, which if anything, would make more it confusing for the reader.
I think in this instance it's only sensible to acknowledge the history of Warrington's association being in Lancashire, and not to be naive in presuming Warrington is not in modern day Cheshire. An index of metals (talk) 16:48, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
