Just want to point out, there is no “Royal Army” in the UK Armed Forces as your article says in several occasions. There is the Royal Navy, the Royal Marines and the Royal Air Force. The British Army is just that, the British Army, never, ever the “Royal Army”. There are Royal regiments and Royal Army service Corps like the Royal Army Medical Corps but the use of the word “Royal” in that context means the Corps was honoured by the Monarch as prior to that honour the formation would have been, and was, the Army Medical Corps. The reason is that the British Army is an amalgam of Royal regiments, Parliamentary regiments and several private regiments such as the Green Howards, named for the minor Royal who raised the regiment in the 18th century. It might be best to amend the article to remove the error. In case you were wondering I served in both the British Army and the Royal Air Force for three decades.
