Transjordan Frontier Force?[edit]

Why does the introduction say "not to be confused with the Transjordan Frontier Force, when that's what the first paragraph of the main body is talking about? Xt828 08:15, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The TJFF was a separate force and the article has been changed to reflect this,--71.185.193.245 (talk) 15:37, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

British force first, Jordanian one progressively[edit]

It serves no purpose to hide this historical fact, especially not in the lead, which offers the definition, or short description, of the force. Reality check: Transjordan was not an independent state, and Brits commanded the Legion until 1956 (top commander an several key officers). It wasn't Transjordan that went to war in WWII, the Empire did, and it wasn't the UK that went to war in 1948, Transjordan did. It was a process. This must be acknowledged and reflected in the lead.

The ranks were part of, adopted from, or modelled 1:1 on UK ones. It needs to be clarified whether they could be changed independently after some point in time (promotion, demotion in either [Trans-]Jordan or UK without automatic recognition in the other system). This seems essential. Wikilinks for the ranks to, specifically, the UK pages seems necessary, as they are the only ones correctly describing the hierarchy etc. applying to the Legion. I have started a discussion on the topic here. Arminden (talk) 11:55, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
