The Mercian Regiment, Newest Infantry Unit Pt.2

A new Regiment is born: Soldiers serving in Afghanistan joined Regimental colleagues in the UK by donning their new Mercian double-headed eagle badges at the same time, on September 1, to form the Army's newest infantry unit, the Mercian Regiment. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the Colonel in Chief of the new Regiment, inspected soldiers in Tamworth, at the formation day events.

Finest Regiment but always remain a Stafford

Why does the prince guy have medals?

[formeliandialogue]

I'm ex-Reg Army myself and think that this change of name is no different than a corporation changing its name...there's a business reason behind it. It's also designed to create new morale,spirit and cohesion, but the hard work by the guys on the ground remains the same. Best of luck to the guys doing the hard work, and not so best of luck to the Generals and powers that be that continue to deceive their soldiers into more and more fighting.
