Brigadier,

"If one should even club different types of units but not of the same Regiment and yet of the same community/ clan, it is not the same thing because Regimental Traditions and ethos will be different

Even in regiment, there are units that make up the Regiment. If one is posted (as officers can be posted) to another unit of the same Regiment, it breaks the heart since it is like being sent away from the Family!"


Brigadier,

The Royal Regiment of Scotland is itself an amalgamation. Four battalions created from five Scottish regiments- the King's Own Scottish Borderers, the Royal Highland Fusiliers, the Highlanders, the Black Watch, and the Argyll and Sutherlanders.

To that extent, it might already be construed a tragedy by some.
