"First" in the United States - not really.[edit]

The comment in the article is not wholly accurate.

The Band was the first "unit" to enter the US since the War of 1812.

Uniformed British Army Officer Attaches had been part of the British Mission in Washington well before 1872, and uniformed British Army Observers had been attached to both the Union Army and Confederate Army during the US Civil War. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8805:1105:A800:2137:DAF0:683:C428 (talk) 19:21, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
