RAF Fighter Command Order of Battle

Hi Nthep; the only mention of The Hardest Day is footnote 6, which is related to a potted description of Sector Stations; these were relevant to the command structure of Fighter Command throughout the battle. The Battle of Britain Then and Now Volume 5 is the primary reference for the unit code letters, squadron names (eg:152 "Hyderabad" Sqn), radio call signs, etc, and confirms which units were officially accredited to Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain; the list of 71 units is on page 255. Again, this was relevant to the entire B of B period. This does not give the locations of the units on 15 September and supplements the information given in Woods and Dempster, which is not listed in the bibliography, nor is there any citation to the book. A note to this effect had been added. Minorhistorian (talk) 22:20, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

North Staffordshire Regt

Hi you may be inerested in this its from - REGIMENTAL NICKNAMES AND TRADITIONS OF THE BRITISH ARMY - the link is here [1] --Jim Sweeney (talk) 17:26, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

THE PRINCE OF WALES'S (North Staffordshire Regiment).

THE 1 st Battalion (64th Foot) was raised in 1 756, the facings being black. It took part in the hardest fighting in the West Indies and America, being engaged there off and on till 1815, reaching home just too late to take part in the battle of Waterloo. The regiment was on board the " Alert," when she was wrecked near Halifax, N.S., all ranks remaining below silent and under perfect discipline, while the vessel was run ashore. Had the men attempted to reach the deck the vessel would have foundered. By their discipline everyone aboard was saved, and the Duke of Wellington ordered that the details should be published throughout the Army as an example of discipline. The 2nd Battalion (98th Foot) was raised in 1 824 and served in the Crimean War. The 98th was honoured with the title of " Prince of Wales's " in recognition of the duties performed by the Corps during the Prince of Wales's visit to Malta.

Nicknamed : " The Black Knots " as distinct from ' The Staffordshire Knots" of the South Staffordshire Regiment.

Re:North Staffordshire Regiment

No problem. It's not going to be the best copy-edit, but it'll be an improvement. Expect it in a day or two. --Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 01:01, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

North Staffordshire Railway

Hi Nthep, I suggest you have a look at Category:Templates for railway lines of Scotland: try and find a route diagram somewhat similar to what is needed, copy it into a sandbox and play with it. Once you have a route map open, clicking on the legend at the top will give you the individual symbols.

Remember that you are not trying to recreate the line as it actually exists, merely to mimic in straight lines and small curves, such as a "ladder" in two, three, four, five or six "legs", with bits cut out. If you want to play, I'm happy to look at anything that you make between now and Sunday, but not after Sunday.Pyrotec (talk) 19:50, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
