Three non-English regiments in action

WITH regard to the Diarmuid O’Donnell’s letter entitled ‘British regiments – but where are the English?’ (Irish Examiner, March 20), I would like to point out an error.

There are no Welsh or Ghurka regiments serving in the war with Iraq.

The non-English regiments are the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, the Irish Guards and the Royal Irish Regiment or three units from approximately 51 units of the British Army serving in the operation.
