Not to compare or suggest necessarily suggest anything, but here in the US we have managed to maintain most of our Army units as continuing entities going back to well over 200 years. Much insignia is still in use that goes back to WW1.
I am sure something could have been done better than this wholesale slaughter of the old British Army?

Much easier to maintain ‘most’ Army units and historical sentiments on the well funded $705.39 billion US defence budget.

Here we march to the beat of a different (cheaper) drum.
