Before you all get up in arms about numbering of units in the ‘American‘
system, read a bit of history.
Canada, until after WWI, used the numbering system for their battalions,
with names attached afterword i.e- 2nd Bn Rifles Queen‘s Own, 9th Bn
Rifles Voltigeurs, 15th Bn Argyll Light Infantry, 65th Rifles Mount
Royal, etc, etc.
So you may go to a numbered unit system but I think you will still see
Regimental Identities remain.
