Role

What does "this will be fixed" mean? Rojomoke 22:50, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

It will be stable, nailed on, immutable, permanent. Or at least that's what I take it to mean but given the vagaries of MOD at the moment.... At least TCH has gone. Try taking the issue to ARSSE Jatrius (talk) 00:54, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Name of the regiment

Ironically, at Waterloo they fought brillantly and defeated "French Imperial Chasseurs" and not "French Imperial Grenadiers". At least they kept the good bearskin (I mean the one of the Chasseurs which was without a metal plate in front).

The: "Source specifying who the British Guards defeated at Waterloo" in the body of the text, is one of the most biased anti British screeds I have ever clapped eyes on.Scan your eyes over it and you will see nothing but the English and British being scared, beaten and driven off right, left and center. Funny how they won the battle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Treviboy (talk • contribs) 10:51, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

That's what it's like all over wikipedia mate on every war England has even if it's a draw or Even an English victory say your reading an article about the nine years war it will have every battle the English were defeated on slapped on the article with a link with a completely one sided reference completely making the English army look as if they were completely defeated there are battles that we well know was a English victory being edited as indecisive or Tactical failure or Strategic failure there are even people deliberately making articles about battles the English lost, and skipping over the battles we won like it never happened you just look on the battle of Hastings article it's basically saying that half of continental Europe joined in, it just irritates me if someone was to write the articles about English battle victories like that there would be consequences. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.184.225.157 (talk) 17:27, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Removed content

I have removed the following from the article as it seems more like commentary that should be on the talk page rather than in the articlespace. I am placing it here if anyone wants to discuss. I do not have any opinion about its accuracy, however, I am currently trying to help out by rewriting the history section was quite light on, hence I am putting it here for safekeeping.

“

As a result of their actions in defeating the French Imperial Grenadiers at Waterloo, the 1st Guards were renamed by as the 1st or Grenadier Regiment of Foot Guards, thus becoming the only regiment in the British Army to win its name in battle. The 1st British Foot Guards never faced the French Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard. They in fact with the help of the adjacent British brigade of General Adam, beat and routed roughly three battalions of French Chasseurs of the Imperial (Middle) Guard; Source specifying who the British Guards defeated at Waterloo. One can even research the uniforms of the Imperial Guard and see that the British Grenadier adoption of the bearskin bonnet uses the Chasseur Imperial guards type that has no brassplate on the front. The Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard had this distinct brass plate on their bonnets.
