Revision as of 01:30, 15 November 2014
Nothing is new under the sun, and there is an excellent page of Infantry Battalion War Diary Transcript Links (WW1) containing 'links to transcripts of First World War British Army infantry battalion war diaries from WO 95 which have already been published on other sites'. The edit history shows a number of people contributed to the page on the archived British National Archives Your Archives wiki (try saying that five times quickly!) so I'm wondering about the best way to acknowledge the work of those contributors if the content is copied over to battalion pages here. Thoughts? --Mia (talk) 10:36, 4 November 2014 (PST)
Units to be placed
Is the 1/4th Battalion (Alexandra, Princess of Wales's Own) Yorkshire Regiment part of the Yorkshire Regiment listed under Line Regiments?
- Yes. The regiment name appears in several different forms, and they're also nicknamed the Green Howards. We probably need to have a big discussion on naming conventions. I'll try to find some lists of regiment names to point out variations. Whatever the canonical name is, there can also be redirects for alternative names.--GavinRobinson (talk) 01:30, 15 November 2014 (PST)
