I take the point, and I raise my hat to anyone who served in those theatres, including members of my own family, but I am not sure that being vulnerable to attack qualifies,. By that measure the residents of London during the blitz should be awarded a sqn number. Surely it’s the units that fight back that deserve the honours.
I wonder how the army would feel about re badging, say, the REME training depot as, say, 3rd Battalion Grenadier Guards ?
