    I don't think they'll be in existence for much longer. Will be merged with Cheshires and WFRS to form a "Mercian" Battalion. Cue double headed shitehawks all round if the old TA badge is revived.

    Otherwise, a good County regiment with a proud tradition. That's why Bliar had to destroy them.

    The Staffords are a top outfit with brilliant soldiers and I believe the best mascott.

    It is true that they are changing to the Mercians (3 Mercian) I think in October 2007 (sorry if I am wrong).

    Join them whilst you can still be capped a Stafford!

    Good Luck :D

    So if you join and enlist before they change to Mercian you retain your cap badge and being known as a stafford is that what your saying??

    Dont they change there berets and cap badges when they change to mercian?
