FWIW, not all of these military Regiments have disappeared through amalgamation. Canada has a high number of Highland units in the Primary Reserve (our equivalent of the TA).

I can assure you, the Black Watch, Seaforth Highlanders, Cameron Highlanders, etc. still exist as distinct Regiments. Oddly, just not in the UK.

And the way I personally look at it, as long as you're not walting it up, trying to pass yourself off as a member of said unit, it's fine.

I look at it as similar to someone wearing a sports jersey. Simply wearing it means you're a fan. Wearing it and trying to intimate that you are a member of that particular professional sports team means you should probably up your medication.

Don't walt and you're fine.

Clicky for a definition of Walt and Walting. Probably NSFW.
