Gents,
It gives me great honour to report that the Light Infantry, Royal Green Jackets, Devon & Dorset Regiment, and the Royal Berkshire,Glostershire and Wiltshire Regiemnt are no more! Due to MoD cut backs, the back bone of most of the Light Division have had 450+ years of history stripped away, and left out in the sun like a mewling baby. Yet again the immortal accountants have yet again proved that the pen is mightier (and more deadly) than any pistol/gun/rifle/ weapon system.
They are known collectivly known as "The Rifles" with Bn's ranging 1-4, and the TA (Reserve) being the 5th Bn.
Will the PPCLI follow suit and change their name as well?
