Talk:George Don (British Army officer)

Don's 96th Foot
The link 96th Regiment of Foot leads in fact to the 97th Queen's Own Germans (former Stuart's Minorca Regiment, eventually 96th Queen's Own Germans), a foreign corps Don was never in command. Don held a colonelcy in a different 96th Foot, a regiment raised as 2/52nd Oxfordshire in 1798 and upgragded to regimental status as the 96th in 1803. Don's 96th became for a few years the 95th when the green-coated 95th Rifles was rechristened as the Rifle Brigade. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.8.98.118 (talk) 10:43, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
