Maureen has asked why we have the content for the [[92nd Regiment of Foot]] redirected to the [[100th Regiment of Foot]] (which they were only called for 4 years). Do we have a particular naming convention that has caused this? If not, I suggest reversing the redirect. [[User:Sarahb|Sarah]] 06:06, 18 January 2010 (PST)
==Military online autobiographies==
Hi Sy This is a copy of a post to Sarah:Can you suggest a page for military autobiographies where they seem to have changed regiments a lot, so you can’t put them on the Regiments page, I can't work what war or battle to place them in, but the book seems to contain content of interest. Would a section on the bottom of [[Chronological list of Wars and Campaigns]] be satisfactory?<br>
