thank you for the reply, but i'm still none the wiser. my ex regimement has 2 crowns on its badge. " i think the only one in the british army " ?
a question came up on a site i visit asking why the parachute regiment wasn't called the royal parachute regiment, that's why i asked the question. but i'm sure the royal artillary,s emblem / badge is mounted above the queens / kings emblem making them a true royal regiment ! may be the other units where appointed ? i don't know.
what dose a regiment have royal infront of there name ?
                                              thanks again for your help.
