Designation in 1914

Oddly Arthur Conan Doyle (of Sherlock Holmes fame) describes a unit as the 8th Jullundur) Indian Infantry Brigade. He meant the unit made up of the 15th and 47th Sikhs and the 59th (Scinde) Rifles, which here we call the Jullundur Brigade. Go figure. Maybe he was wrong. Maybe we are.

What's the citation for the Conan Doyle reference? The 47th & 59th were still in the 8th Brigade by 1918, I see nothing unusual in a battalion calling their brigade by an older name, or combining names. So; Jullundur Brigade/ 8th Jullundur Brigade/ 8th Brigade, all meant much the same to the men who served in it. Yorkist (talk) 23:36, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cite is The Great War: 1914, The British Campaign in France and Flanders, Vol. 1 by Arthur Conan Doyle Albion Press (August 25, 2015) ASIN: B014HQ1K4W all in all, Doyle made at least a few mistakes and generally talked funny to our modern ears. His might have been common usage of the time, or perhaps an error. Famously the division was all broken up in the 1914 Campaign. ''Paul, in Saudi'' (talk) 06:05, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
