'''Regiment'''. A group of about 500 officers and soldiers under the charge of a Colonel. After [[1879]], in the [[British Army]] most regiments comprised two [[Battalion]]s, each of 500 men or so, one under the charge of a [[Colonel]] and the other of a [[Lieutenant-Colonel]]. In theory, one Battalion was to remain in England, recruiting and training, whilst the other served abroad.
