Amalgamated - The Royal Regiment of Scotland
The British Ministry of Defence has announced that the 26 infantry of the line regiments still in existence in the British Army will now become just 12 under a sweeping round of changes. The Allied Regiment, The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (Princess Louise's) had resisted amalgamation and even disbandment since the Cardwell Reforms of 1881.
It is now announced that the Scottish Regiments (including The Royal Highland Fusiliers, The Black Watch, The Highlanders, and The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders) will become one single cap badge five-battalion regiment, the Royal Regiment of Scotland. It is reported that each battalion will keep their unit name in front of the battalion title.
