link And quite a long list it is, too!
Is it complete? I hesitate to say so. Some minor unit in a very minor novel may have not been included. But it's a fine list. |
| Martin Rapier | 21 Sep 2018 11:56 p.m. PST |
The most obvious omission is the South Essex (Sharpes Regiment). |
| Vintage Wargaming | 22 Sep 2018 1:24 a.m. PST |
The Corps of Halberdiers (Evelyn Waugh Sword of Honour trilogy). Not very minor novels. |
| Winston Smith | 22 Sep 2018 1:25 a.m. PST |
The South Essex are there. I found them. |

Got to love the 3rd Foot and Mouth 🤣 |

I can find various Wessex and South regiments, but no South Essex. Perhaps it is impending senility. The Blankshires often appear in training manuals as a normal infantry regiment, not Highland. |

South Essex, next one after Royal Westmoreland Fusiliers. |

People keep messing with that one. I worked on it a couple of years ago, and when I checked again early this month, some I knew had been there had been removed. |

@ robert: that's due to defence cuts. |

Great list! Thanks for posting it, John. |

You know, 4DJones, that was one I'd forgotten! Someone actually did a piece about the Blankshires and Loamshires being consolidated into the Amalgamees. |
 Jeff Ewing | 22 Sep 2018 7:47 a.m. PST |
Barsethird Regiment from Angela Thirkill. |

Not in a work of fiction, but my favorite proposed by a punter during amalgamations back in the '80s or 90s was the Queens Own Green Wellies! |

The amalgamated regiment should be The Prince of Wales Own Green Wellingtons. It is made up of 3 Yorkshire based regiments, The Prince of Wales Own Regiment of Yorkshire, The Green Howards and The Duke of Wellington's Regiment. I named my forces deployed to Iraq after it. |

I don't see Higgins' outfit from Magnum PI
Prince of Wales something or other |
| bsrlee | 22 Sep 2018 9:59 p.m. PST |
There was a 'regiment' 13th Lurkers and Crouchers in one episode of the Goons Show, but I can't remember which one. |
| Winston Smith | 23 Sep 2018 8:32 a.m. PST |
Higgins served with a real regiment. The West Yorkshire Regiment (Prince of Wales Own).

Later amalgamated into the Prince of Wales Green Wellies.

Did not know that
Thanks Winston |
wonders if he can resize 3Dprinted dungeon tiles to match his other dungeon tiles…
