[edit] Royal Irish Rangers

The Adelaide University Regiment was allied to the Royal Irish Rangers. Has this affiliation transferred to the Royal Irish Regiment? AUR still wear a green patch behind their cap badge. Members of the AUR Pipes and Drums wear a saffron diamond behind their cap badges. Ozdaren 13:44, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regiment of the "line"

Does the British Army still distinguish between regiments of the "line" and other regiments? The Wikipedia article on the Irish Guards refers to there being two Irish regiments in the British Army. It would seem logical for this article to concur with this or, perhaps, to include a definition of, or a link to an article about, "line" regiments.

It is still important but may not be relevant- see Line infantry. I chose to join a line infantry regiment with 300 years of tradition not a guards regiment with 70 years of history. Guards regiments do still have different roulement or rotations to line infantry as they need to squeeze in public duties. Now, of course, line infantry regiments (as well as corps and commonwealth units)also do public duties. Tradition aside, there is no real difference between line and light infantry. --MJB 09:25, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Title

I seriously suggest you guys move this page to something that makes sense. Its like 4653 regiments that you guys are trying to put in the main title. I would SEROIUSLY suggest you change this articals name or break it up ForeverDEAD 21:59, 1 October 2007 (UTC) You are clearly ignorant of the British Army - that is the Regiment's title. It is not appropriate to shorten it save to the approved military abbreviation of R IRISH which would be confusing. --MJB 10:11, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

It may be the regiments title but its a bitch to read. To a fellow country men it seems nice but to somonefrom another country it makes absoutle no sense why every little regiment must be named. It could eiasly be named the royal irsh regiment'S and then in the held liner state each or the regiments. ForeverDEAD 20:39, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Your interest is appreciated but your point is unconvincing. Frankly. who cares what someonr from another country thinks. The regiment has a proud history of nearly 320 years and the title will reflect some of that. --MJB 21:47, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Royal Irish regiment(s) get about 1,530,000 hits in google. while the current title gets only about 1050. Its common practice here to use the common names. Also my presence from another country does not count out my opionion of advice. ForeverDEAD 21:05, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Battalions

I believe that the 7th Battalion was actually the 7/10 (City of Belfast) Battalion as it was already an amalgamation of the 7th and 10th battalions of the UDR or is my memory worse than I thought. - Mike (E Coy)GreayArea (talk) 00:05, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
