As they say, go figure ….

Could be a convenient way to get around to tidying up the PWRR, RRF and Royal Anglians, it gets rid of the one regular battalion of RRF that's rattling around and overcomes the "Princess's Royal Anglian Fusiliers", "Home Counties and East of England Fusiliers" or whatever clumsy new regimental name issue.
Then again The Rifles seem to be a brand that may be promoted still further as Rangers?
I take it that the Royal Regiment of Scotland will remain unmolested?
