    Re: New infantry titles confirmed

    Am I right in thinking that the new Battalions will get new cap badges too? Or do the seperate battalions keep their cap badges??

    New Badges for all I think, we've seen the LANCS and SCOTS already.

    I have yet to see in print that the precedent of Regiments will not change with the disbanding and amalgamation of Regiments. My particular interest being the disbanding and merging or The Royal Scots with the Kings Own Scottish Borderers to for 1 SCOTS.

    The table given on the MoD website follows the traditional precendent line - can someone confirm that this is so and 1 SCOTS will still be the 'Right of Line' (In the context of infantry, non-Household Brigade, Regiments).
