		Cavalry and infantry regiments of the British Army are listed in their own orders of precedence, which dates back to when regiments had numbers rather than names.

	The Royal Scots - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 15th and 16th were assigned to the British 34th Division and the 17th to the 35th Infantry Division, moved to France in early 1916, and first saw action at the first day on the Somme; all three spent the remainder of the war on the Western Front.
		The British forces were heavily hit by the German breakthrough, however, and fell back towards the coast; the battalion was deployed at Le Paradis, near Bethune, on May 25th to protect the flanks of the Dunkirk evacuation.
		It is perhaps worth noting that the survivors of the battalion were lucky to escape the fate of the adjacent unit, the 2nd Royal Norfolk Regiment; almost one hundred prisoners taken from this battalion were shot by their captors in the "Le Paradis massacre".

	The British Regimental System
		The key divergence between the British and Continental use of the Regiment was that the British did not attach a tactical significance to the Regiment.
		The British Army felt this offered the best of both worlds; a large number of Regiments, often numbered into the seventies and beyond, each with a strong local recruiting base and a sense of history, could be maintained even during peacetime.
		A British Brigade could often contain Regiments from areas as diverse as the South of England, Scotland and Ireland, or the North of England, Wales and the Midlands.
