Royal Newfoundland RegimentThe Royal Newfoundland Regiment – The "The" is part of the official name of the Regiment (see other Canadian regiments pages). Amqui (talk) 00:15, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agree Since the "The" is part of the official name, it should be listed as such.--Abebenjoe (talk) 02:20, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Regimental WWI honours

[edit]

Either a disputed or confusion has arisen concerning the topic of the timings of the Royal prefix given to the regiment during WWI. I've returned the text to the previous baseline until a common position is reached. I've likewise included Parsons as a source so that another source other than Nicolson is present.--Labattblueboy (talk) 22:08, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • The previously included statement of "It had been 101 years since the original Royal Newfoundland Regiment, formed in 1793 and disbanded on July 31, 1802, had the honour of being called "Royal" and the first time that they earned it through their actions in combat" is untrue:

- In the previous version you had up it read as if the last time a regiment got the prefix "Royal" was 101 years ago but you also said that the prefix "Royal" was given to the Princess Charlotte of Wales' Royal Berkshire Regiment in 1885. That would be 32 years previous. Nicholson says, "After the passage of 101 years a regiment raised in the ancient Colony could once again proudly bear the title - 'The Royal Newfoundland Regiment'" Indicating that they had been called Royal before and were now called Royal again. I was trying to explain the 101 years from being called "Royal" to being "Royal" again.

    • The previous iteration of the regiment was created in 1795, not 1793

- The Newfoundland Volunteers, predecessor of the regiment, was given the prefix "Royal" in 1793 by Captain Thomas Skinner who recruited, clothed etc... the volunteers.

    • There is more than 101 years between the two reference dates

- I meant it as an appox. It was 32 years since a regiment was given the "Royal" prefix and 124 years since the Newfoundland Regiment had "Royal" in the title.

    • The two regiments are entirely different iterations and the comparison about the honour in combat isn't really relevant. The mention of the 1917 being a unique WWI honour is sufficient.--Labattblueboy (talk) 22:21, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Different iterations, yes, but it was still a regiment raised from local volunteers with the same name. I believe it is worth mentioning.

I am really trying to nail down the date taht the Newfoundland Regiment got the prefix "Royal". I have three dates, December 10th, December 17th and December 19th. The archival documents from the time period say the 19th. The Regiment website says the 17th. However, when I originally spoke to Edward Roberts and Dr. David Parsons and Dr. Andrew Parsons last year they mentioned the 10th. And the wiki said September. It can't be September because the battles for which the honour was given were not until October and November, namely Cambria and Ypres.

I stand by my text for this wiki.
