 ARMY

South African Army troops are organized into regiments with long, involved histories, as in the British army.  The regiments of the South African forces are listed on the “Land Forces of Britain, the Empire and Commonwealth" website.  This excellent site includes lists of British and Commonwealth regiments throughout history, and also provides a superb primer on the role of the Regiment in Commonwealth military life, in the past and today.
