		Shenkin (the Welsh pronunciation of 'Jenkins')is a goat from the Royal Herd at Windsor, and is the official mascot of the 3rd Battalion The Royal Welsh, and is looked after by Goat Major Sgt. David Joseph BEM.

		Three Regiments used to parade a goat - The Royal Welch Fusiliers, the Royal Regiment of Wales, and the Royal Welsh Regiment.

	House of Commons Hansard Debates for 1 Feb 2005 (pt 4)
		In Wales, the new regimental structure involves the creation of a large single-cap regiment with two battalions, to be known respectively as the 1st Battalion of the Royal Welsh (the Royal Welch Fusiliers) and the 2nd Battalion of the Royal Welsh (the Royal Regiment of Wales).
		The relegation of the antecedent regiment's name to a position in brackets after the name of the new regiment was in itself insensitive and something of a slight to the memory of those historic regiments.
		For instance, in the case of the Royal Highland Fusiliers the title of the new battalion is the Royal Highland Fusiliers (2nd Battalion the Royal Regiment of Scotland).

		Mr Wiggin has asked Tony Blair to agree to look again at allowing the Royal Welch Fusiliers and the Royal Regiment of Wales to put their names before the name of the new Royal Welsh Regiment.
		The former Royal Welch Fusilier said it is "unfair" that the Welsh regiments are being denied the opportunity to keep their traditional names when they merge.
		And he said: "Now that the government has decided to merge the regiments, there is no doubt in my mind that they should be able to retain their names as battalion names put before the new regimental name.

		What effect the merger of the Welsh regiments is expected to have on morale; and what is being done to ensure that their sense of cohesiveness and identity is not lost.

	Roger Williams - News articles
		On 16 December 2004, it was announced that the three Welsh regiments -the Royal Welch Fusiliers, the Royal Regiment of Wales and the Royal Welsh Regiment, a TA Battalion- would not, unlike the Scottish regiments, be able to keep their historical names as antecedents in the amalgamation process.
		The Welsh regimental names are therefore no mere piece of fanciful tradition, they play an important and active part in the recruitment process, ensuring the future of the regiments.
		There is still a lot of work and persuading to be done but at this stage, we remain hopeful that the Secretary of State will see the logic and necessity for the Welsh regiments to keep their historic names, not just for the sake of the past, but for that of the future.

		Billy Goat has been a mascot of the First Battalion, the Royal Welsh regiment, since he was six months old and had the official rank of lance-corporal before his frisky antics during a parade marking Queen Elizabeth's official birthday earlier this month.
		A British army regiment's mascot goat was demoted in disgrace after it disrupted a parade before a host of international dignitaries to mark the Queen's birthday, a military spokesman said Saturday.
		The Welsh regiment was presented with a goat from the royal herd in 1746 and Billy is descended from the same bloodline, said a spokeswoman for Britain's Ministry of Defence, on customary condition of anonymity.
