Merging?[edit]

This page should be expanded upon and merged with 172nd (Rocky Mountain Rangers) Battalion, CEF

I disagree. This page is about the present day militia regiment. The WWI battalion was a different entity entirely. Cjrother 02:10, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, re that WWI battalion, and I think also WWII because of what the source had to say about it, the motto of the battalion was the Chinook Jargon Kloshe nanitch, meaning "stand guard" and also "take care" , i.e. "fare well" (lit. "watch well"). This was a private input to the Chinook mailing list at linguistlistl.org, it might be searchable/linkable. But this would appear not to be the article it belongs in; at some point a history of the BC militias and sundry (e.g. the Victoria Voltigeurs and the particular troop of British Marines stationed there; the ships are already being catalogued, or listed anyway). So if there's ever an article for such historical military groups, or a category, please advise; it's a missing gap in the coverage of BC history in Wikipedia so far; would be good to have but I don't have the resources to write it, other than provide the meaning and existence of their motto. Also based in Kamloops, though, that much I know. Shouldn't this article mention that the name applied to the earlier battalion (which was militia only, AFAIK, not regular troops) and something about what their role was, i.e. at least until there's a separate article, until there might be.Skookum1 (talk) 08:03, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"The" in title?[edit]

Is this standard; seems odd; shouldn't the title be what's now the redirect I found this through, Rocky Mountain Rangers (plus all the regimental stuff); without the "The", that is?Skookum1 (talk) 08:05, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The "The" has been declared standard by the currently serving leadership. It was a big debate for a long time, but eventually settled by HQ decision. MikeOv (talk) 05:48, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cadet COs[edit]

I know that Cole Patterson is not the CO of the Dawson Creek corps, unless he's of the same name as someone mentioned in previous page vandalism. could somone in the know fix this? MikeOv (talk) 05:50, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
