Hmm. I could have sworn I'd read something somewhere about George V restoring kilts to the 72nd after they'd been "de-kilted," but I don't have the info to hand.

Impossible. The 72nd were amalgamated with the 78th to form the Seaforth Highlanders thirty years before George became King. Wiki mentions that the 72nd lost their kilts when they went to India in 1782 and regained it when they returned, so that might be what you're thinking of. That was under George III.

You may be from Florida, but you ain't exactly from the panhandle.

You ain't never heard me talk in person.

Just for that, from now on I'm going to mentally read each post you make in the most stereotypical Southern drawl I can imagine. :P
