Talk:1st Armoured Infantry Brigade (United Kingdom)

1st Mechanized Brigade

The title 1st Mechanized Brigade follows the British Army spelling [1]. Also consensus should be obtained before controversial moves to long established articles. Jim Sweeney (talk) 17:58, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Facebook? Must be true then... Hamish59 (talk) 21:19, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

If you look within the article it does have the Army 2020 plan with the updated names. Gavbadger (talk) 21:36, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Do you mean this [2] brochure? If so, I am afraid that I cannot see the reference. Have you got a page number? Hamish59 (talk) 21:54, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
