GUEST,Father Ted Scotland Lyr Req: Gary Owen (not the old one) (62* d) RE: Lyr Req: GARY OWEN (not the old one) 10 Feb 07

I find this debate on Garry Owen and Custer most intreaguing.

I am lately interested in the 7th cavary, as Im a sucker for John Wayne movies, can any of you knowledgable folk tell me - is there any other numbered cavalry regiments? all movies seem to mention the 7th but no other number. Delighted to hear the regimental title is still extanct in todays US army.

I am intreaged that the name Trooper/sergent Tyrie crops up in these John Ford movies Is he an historically known member of the 7th or just a name beloved of the script writers?

Here in GB the name Garry Owen is given to a particular type of kick in the game of rugby, after a player of that name I think, as well as the name of a tune.
