SR - Re: BG - A Name Suggestion for the New Army

[JEvans5420 at aol.com]

Having a complete lack of a useful imagination, I agree that we need a name other than "The army of the Southern reagon", or "The Southern Army".  When ever I hear those 2 names, I ask myself what historic reenactment group I belong to.  Though, we could change his Grace's title to Colonel.  He could be Colonel MacEwan, commander of the southern army.  So, who would lead a crack cavelry troop that goes hunting for shoes and parties when they need to be scouting for General Grant and his men?

- I'm still crispy over the whole "Southern regional name" discussion.

- I cannot think of a period name for an army, other than things like
  "the English army" or "the Duke of Norfolk's men".

- I emphatically do not want a non-period name, especially one with
  modern resonance.  E.g., "Rolling Thunder" is a group of good
  people, but an older person or someone with knowledge of recent
  military history thinks "the Vietnam War".
