Talk:Queen's Rangers

Merge?
What's the difference between this article and The Queen's York Rangers (1st American Regiment) (RCAC)? It links here, but this basically has the same information.Mingusboodle (talk) 03:45, 10 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, this article, along with King's Rangers should be merged into Rogers' Rangers as a single, comprehensive article. - the WOLF  child  02:09, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

No. This was a Roberts Rogers invention. The Queen involved was Charlotte, King George III consort. She wasn’t crowned until 1761, After the French and Indian war. So America has Rogers Rangers, a Loyalist unit (along with everyone else) during the French and Indian War. THEN they were disbanded. Rogers recruited a bunch of Loyalists for the American Revolution. He called THEM “Queens Rangers.” THEN deciding they would have the history of HIS unit from the prior war. If the British had won, this might have worked! Too much of a break. Wrong Queen. Student7 (talk) 22:59, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Difference between the Queen's Rangers (War of 1770s-80s) and Rogers' Rangers (War of 1750s-60s)
Rogers' Rangers treats the distinction between that unit and this one correctly, acknowledging the Queen's Rangers as inheritors of the earlier unit's tradition but still keeping them distinct from each other. I see that this article did the same until banned User:Chitt66 changed that when he added the article's infobox. I'm going to revert it; it should involve minimal changes to the article.

'partisan hunters'
"They filled the role of partisan hunters."

This seems an odd phrase, being unidiomatic, vague, and indeed ambiguous: does it mean 'hunters of the partisan subcategory' or 'hunters of partisans' In any case the term 'partisan,' used in  this context also requires explanation, as its meaning has changed over the years..

The Queen's Rangers were formed as a light corps, unit of regular troops usin 'irregular' methods of warfare, or in the idiom of the time, 'petit guerre' (rendered in Spanish as 'guerrilla,' whence the tautology 'guerilla warfare.'

All of these terms - 'partisan,' 'irregular', 'petit guerre' and 'guerilla' are too imprecise to be deployed as  descriptive terms  without further definition and explanation.

I shall amend, in clearer terms. JF42 (talk) 17:36, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
