On 9 October 2022, it was proposed that this article be moved from The Governor General's Horse Guards to Governor General's Horse Guards. The result of the discussion was moved.

Requested move

~~The Governor General's Horse Guards → Governor General's Horse Guards — Move for consistency and per WP:NCD RJASE1 22:12, 27 January 2007 (UTC)~~ Withdrawing request per Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history/Canadian military history task force#Unit naming conventions and WP:NCD. RJASE1 02:16, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Survey - in opposition to the move

Oppose. The definite article is a part of the official names of many regiments; the fact that it was actually officially removed for some (e.g. Governor General's Foot Guards) indicates it's actually part of the proper name. WP:NCD also states, with reagrd to keeping the articles: ":Oppose: Some -- not all -- Canadian regimental names include the definite article in their names. The fact that not all do, and that some have had the article officially removed (e.g. Governor General's Horse Guards) indicates that the article should be retained for those regiments for whom it was retained. The conventions themselves state (with regard to keeping the definite articles) "This also extends to some non-musical groups, [emphasis mine] and even beyond "official" naming, for example The Invincibles (which is the nickname of several sports teams)." So even the guideline admits that the article need not be omitted in every case. --SigPig |^{SEND - OVER} 22:45, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose unless you are saying the The isn't part of the name. There is already a redirect from Governor General's Horse Guards in case people come in that way. Cjrother 00:23, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The name 'Ijsselmeer'in the 1940-1945 Battle Honours should, if spelled correctly, read 'IJsselmeer' as the letters 'IJ' represent one vowel in Dutch ; but if the honour spells the name as shown, this change should not be made. Wouwman 20:00, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The creation of an armoured reconnaissance regiment, for each Canadian armoured division, had been part of the reorganization of the Canadian Army Overseas, in early 1943. Both regiments, upon conversion from that of ‘an armoured regiment,’ to that of ‘an armoured reconnaissance regiment,’11 were organized under the newly created and authorized Canadian war establishment for an armoured reconnaissance regiment. This was subsequently replaced, by a new war establishment, effective 14 May 1943, which in turn, was replaced by another new war establishment, for an armoured reconnaissance regiment effective 12 January 1944. In March 1944, so that an armoured division could at any time split into two brigade groups, each of two armoured regiments, and two infantry battalions, General B.L. Montgomery, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, 21st Army Group,12 directed that all the armoured reconnaissance regiments, within 21st Army Group, adopt the war establishment of an armoured regiment, effective 13 March 1944. As such, the 29th Canadian Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment (The South Alberta Regiment) of the 4th Canadian Armoured Division, reorganized under the then, current Canadian war establishment for an armoured regiment, and subsequently, that of 30 November 1944. The 3rd Canadian Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment (The Governor General’s Horse Guards), of the 5th Canadian Armoured Division, who at this time (March 1944), were in Italy, remained organized, under the Canadian war establishment for an armoured reconnaissance regiment, of 12 January 1944, until they moved to North-West Europe, in March 1945, at which time, they to, reorganized under the then, current Canadian war establishment for an armoured regiment, as per the 21st Army Group policy, of armoured reconnaissance regiments, adopting the war establishment of an armoured regiment.

11. The two regiments concerned, were converted from an ‘armoured regiment’ to that of an ‘armoured reconnaissance regiment,’ effective 1 January 1943. 12. 21st Army Group, was a British headquarters formation, in command of two field armies and other supporting units, consisting primarily of the Second British Army, and First Canadian Army, which was established in London during July 1943, under the command of Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force, it was assigned to Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Europe, and was an important Allied force in the European Theatre of Operations. 21st Army Group operated in Northern France, Luxembourg, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany from June 1944, to the end of hostilities in North-West Europe, in May 1945. 206.198.189.117 (talk) 18:24, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
