The Regular Infantry of the British Army

The Regiments in 1971

After the dissolution of the brigade system there was a mix of large and one battalion regiments. In the last group the old badges returned or new badges for amalgamated regiments were designed. In the first group either the brigade badge was retained or a new more fitting badge was adopted.
