The Household Division lost 3 battalions (or more accurately 2 as 3 Coys remain) over 15 years ago. The Scottish division since then has lost the same. Recruiting in Scotland is going well. Last year 124% of target achieved, this year 6 months in we are at 89%. Scotland has long recruited 12% of the Armed Forces from 9% of the population.......
I have no axe to grind with the Blue Red Blue boys but they escaped last time by the skin of their teeth and this time i cannot see them retaining 5 Bns from 37 down into 5 of 25
I'll agree with that personally I'd have a household battalion just to cover the household duties a company strength drawn from all the battalions to cover the tick, tock crap doing away with the increment companies held at this moment in time.
