71st Regiment of Foot (Fraser's Highlanders) action in Savannah, Georgia

[Laird O'the Cowcaddens]

Nice to see a acknowledgement of the 71st of foot. As a past member of the RHF which was the amalgamation of the 71st + 74th (1881) to become the HLI with a further amalgamation with the RSF, to become the R.H.F. which has now become the 2nd Battalion of the RRS. If you are interested in our history you can find more specific info at our Regimental Museum, which you can access via the internet.

I would like to, politely, request full "expansion " of abbreviations, for those of us not "in the know" (ex.: "RHF", "RSF", etc.)

It was not the 71st (Fraser's) Highlanders but the 71st (MacLeod's) Highlanders that were a predecessor regiment of the HLI - link.

I ONLY referenced the 71st of Foot, and was NOT SPECIFICALLY claiming that Regiment was the forefather to the subsequent Amalgamations. I DID HOWEVER, directly reference ASSAYE which clearly identifies which 71st of Foot I was speaking of.
