The spark of creativity lit by Sargon's mention of the Sheffield Sabres in NPC, and partly derived from my Famous quotations that never were thread, I present a new thread blending the two. Er, try to make the blend like Monkey Shoulder whiskey and not like Bells. ;)

Outline:
Name/designation/type of fictional military unit, e.g. King James III's Royal Light Infantry

Brief potted history of the unit including PoD, e.g. James II more popular, no William/Mary combo, subsequent James III, who was the last British monarch ITTL to take to the field as C-in-C. Almost killed by Austrian chasseurs at the Battle of Brussels (1759) in the War of the Prussian Succession (1755-1762), but rescued by an outpost of the 12th Foot, subsequently renamed to honour the event.

Then a few more battle honours. Same for warships, military airships, Roman legions or whatever else you want to use. :)
