[edit] Official Abbreviation

This section is to do with the OFFICIAL abbreviation - ie: as listed in the riveting Joint Service Publication 101 (Service Writing). It is not for the commonly used abbreviations, hence why it is 4/7DG and not 4/7, which that regiment was commonly known as. RSDG is probably the most common of the incorrect abbreviations often seen and must be included. SDG is a very good example of the problems that can occur (similar to the Queens Own Hussars and the Queens Own Highlanders!).
