Talk:2nd Infantry Brigade (United Kingdom)

I think this small stub's contents can easily be merged into a page that talks about the whole history of the brigade. Cheers Buckshot06, Aug 8 2006

• Which one? I think that 2nd (Light) Brigade is the small one and should be added to this one. The 2nd Infantry Brigade as the title can be used for it's WWI history as well. I am coming across this problem with a few of the other brigade articles i have been starting, conflicting eras for each unit. This article, is specifically, it's WWII history.

• The other problem is that the 2nd (Light) Brigade is probably an expanding article where as the 2nd Infantry Brigade is historical. There is, I think, a possible conflict developing with the only British Army brigade list being British Brigades in World War II . A new brigade list may have to be created with the British Army brigade titles of today being used and the WWII list being used for brigades from WWII and back? There is also no list for WWI brigades. Tristan benedict 18:09, 9 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

What is the correct historical perspective on this brigade. Note the use of the term during the Napoleonic wars . Deet (talk) 05:45, 21 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
