Talk:Honourable Artillery Company

Age of Regiment
Apologies for butting in, but the article on the Coldstream Guards says

Her Majesty's Coldstream Regiment of Foot Guards, also known officially as the Coldstream Guards, is a regiment of the British Army, part of the Guards Division or Household Division.

It is the oldest regiment in the Army in continuous active service.

I wondered how this squared with the similar-sounding claim for the HAC

Coldstream Guards has now been corrected Blackshod 11:43, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

"The Honourable Artillery Company (HAC) was incorporated by royal charter in 1537 by King Henry VIII and is considered the second oldest military corps in the world." Is it correct? It seems contradictory with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oldest_military_units_and_formations_in_continuous_operation 91.75.135.66 (talk) 12:24, 28 October 2019 (UTC)


 * It certainly looks contradictory to me. Dormskirk (talk) 13:45, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
