Default Any ideas please etc.

To Jeff - The name 'Seaforth Highlanders' was first used in 1778 when the 78th Highlanders were re-numbered as the 72nd. It was abandoned in 1823 when the Duke of Albany applied his name to the 72nd and again resurrected in 1881 with the amalgamation of the 72nd and 78th. To say that the name Seaforths was not used until 1881 is, in consequence, incorrect. Regards. David
