Hi a8,
Welcome to the forum.
I do wish you'd posted your query yesterday though, as this afternoon at WDYTYA a lady was asking me about the Connaught Rangers, and thanks to uksearch and Keith I could have given a really good reply.

Hello a8smith.

Welcome to the forum. |wave|

You'd be amazed how quickly a reply can appear :D

By the way, I have moved this thread to General Military so that any military experts see it.

Good luck in your search,
