Hullo Frank

The KOYLI is the 51st regiment not the 15th - did you transpose numbers?
The 15th was formed in 1685 and became the Yorkshire East Riding Regiment in
1782 and the East Yorkshire Regiment in the great army reorganization in
1881.
Which do we run with?

John Elmes in warm and damp South East Qld.
