So, why no RCA? Admittedly they were the Canadian Army previously, but this is a, as some have said, "reinvention of the wheel"! What protocol dictates no 'Royal' for the Army?
Oliver Cromwell's New Model Army during the 1650s had a lot to do with the lack of royal charters in some of today's Regiments.
They were disbanded after the Restoration of Charles II in 1660, but some of the names stuck: Coldstream Guards for one.
