Wrong
This page is all wrong. The 1st battalion of the Wilts Regiment was raised in 1756 at Torbay. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.75.236.71 (talk) 13:39, 10 March 2009 (UTC)


 * That was the predecessor formation, the 62nd. I've split the article now to better reflect that they were distinct units. Shimgray | talk | 16:20, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

99th. Regiment.
Hello. The 99th. Regiment, besides starting of in Van Diemens Land Tasmania (australia); also was despatched to Western Australia(Swan River Colony) in 1849 approx. Was here in 1850 for maybe 10 years. This does not appear in your chapter, Western Australia, nor makes mention of the fact in the story concerning them in Tasmania.

I am really busy writing a book on some W.A. history and can definitely associate them with this State.

Thank you Kind regards Darrel McGuiness58.167.199.113 (talk) 05:48, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
