Talk:Mercian Regiment

 * "It was expected that the regiment's cap badge would have be a double headed Mercian Eagle with Saxon crown, but this has been rejected by the Army Board due to it's strong Territorial Army connection."

Well, if you go on the website, there's a great big double-headed Mercian eagle with Saxon crown....


 * It appears to me that the badges of the Mercian Brigade/Mercian Volunteers and the Mercian Regiment are exactly the same. What changes were actually made after the Army Dress Committee rejected the 'strangled chicken' design? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.176.88.21 (talk) 15:35, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The colour, as far as I can see... the Brigade badge's eagle was all silver, Here's one at ebay:. It looks like the new version has a gold beak and legs . A small difference, but presumably enough to keep the Committee happy? Lozleader 12:06, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Type
Isnt the type being "Light infantry" redundant and incorrect by the "role" section that shows the regiments battalions being light infantry/Mechanized infantry/reservists.--EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 20:12, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Merge 4 Mercian
Without a substantial amount of information on this, or other battalions, I propose to merge 4 Mercian into Mercian Regiment. Chachu207 talk to me 18:42, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Agree. I see no reason not to do this; not very much links to 4 Mercian, so it would not be controversial. [ dotKuro ] [ talk ] [ contribs ] 17:16, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I think articles on individual battalions are perfectly acceptable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:28, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment I agree with both of you, if the battalion has some notably by itself an article is appropriate. However this battalion at this period in time does not seem to be, as it has never been on active service. Jim Sweeney (talk) 14:43, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
