You forgot "The Royal Guards". I have the utmost respect for the Cameronians and the York and Lancaster Regiment decision to disband instead of being subsumed ever deeper into economically viable units.
In a way, they continue to exist as they were known, whereas one has to shovel through a myriad of changes to find a thread to the others. Witness the unfortunate A&SH reduced to virtually nothing. Far better to disband than to face such a degrading fate in my opinion.
'Tis the nature of British nation ever to be seeking some new reformation....or something to that effect.
