What about 58th Rutlandshire Regt, 64th Staffordshire Regt, 82nd Hamiltons Regt & 100th Loyal Lincolnshire Regt.
But this is taking the thread away from the excellent work of J A.

Agree on the excellent work - superb stuff from both Jose and Pepe.

I was a young TA officer cadet in the early 80s with the Mercian Volunteers and was attending my first dinner night when I was challenged to go and ask the RSM why the 2nd Battalion of his Regiment (The Staffords) were known as the Black Staffords. I declined; a wise decision given that he was a good 6 foot in any direction and of Samoan stock!
