why do all british unit names sound like a postal address or a fashion show?
like every other nation has name likes "154 fighting badgers", or "11th iron wall division"..
the UK?
"the large house across from the queens favorite garden's own rifles.."
The UK, as a country with a long-standing military history, forces way back since the 11th century would be made up of the local populace and led by a lord of noble of the area; For example, ‘The Earl of Warwick’. This tradition continued and evolved and when a national standing army was introduced, these regional forces continued to bear the name of where they originated from; for example, ‘Royal Warwickshire Regiment’. It might seem funny to some, but for some of these forces, >300 years of tradition and history mean more than a ‘cool name’.
@@ICR-RAC i understand the nomenclature just not the point..
300 years of being called "princess' own royal armored underpants" is more important.. whatever you say.
i mean the UK has SOME. decent sounding units.
Desert Rats is quite cool..
Hobarts Funnies is quite cool as well
but most of the rest....? lets just say your "love of tradition" doesnt instill fear in the enemy..
oh no its the "113 queens own chamber pot custodians!"
im just having you on..
each country has its own naming standards..
Regiment names have little meaning on their own, but it’s what becomes associated with the name that gives it power. Reputation is what matters, and that is only built up over time (history itself). Nicknames may be attributed to a unit and adopted in time (Desert Rats, Screaming Eagles) but have to be earned. The enemy may have no fear of the 11th iron wall division if they are known to be a recently formed unit of disorganized conscripts, a ill-disciplined rabble with no will to fight, but fear the 113th queens own chamber pot custodians who have a history of fighting tooth and nail, and give no quarter. It’s hard to believe that someone who has gone out of their way to watch and comment on a historical video has an apparent lack of appreciation of history and would prefer to do away with it in favor of ‘cooler names’.
@@ICR-RAC i think you missed a bit of my point
im not talking about a unit thats just "given" a cool name im talking about units that have earned them.. so thats not even what im on about.. i mean as an example
if "the queens own armored garden party fusiliers" did something bad ass,, they should be the "daisy cutters" by now is what im on about..
also i was quite clear i was just winding you up a bit..
but for the sake of it...
i understand the name conventions of the UK are pretty common in many european countries and even asia..
