Not that it makes any difference to UJ's rather good ripostes to SAMXXV's enthralling and well presented posts, but the 5th Dragoon Guards merged with the 6th Inniskilling Dragoons in 1922, to form initially the 5th/6th Dragoons, later renamed the 5th Dragoon Guards in 1927. I know this because my grandfather was a 6th Inniskilling Dragoon from 1905 until 1912 when he discharged (although he was but a mere private, and was far too canny to go winning any medals), but was subsequently called up again into the 2nd Dragoon Guards in 1915, discharging again in 1920 (still a private ,but with a couple of medals this time). He was apparently gassed at some point, but don't know where, and Mum cant remember, but we still have a few of his possessions (Soldiers Small Book that sort of thing) which are fascinating. Sorry to wander a bit off track!
