The article is overly large because it details a lot of things, but there is no focus on the battalion. Just to use the section on the 7th Battalion in the Second World War as an example:
The rest of the article is in the same shape; it needs to stay focused on the topic at hand, while providing short pieces of relevant context i.e.: "the battalion became part of the 2nd Div, which advanced into Belgium. The battalion fought an action at X, and X. Interesting tibbet about battalion's band gear etc." Ten varying sized paragraphs could be reduced to one or two, to cover the mobilizing and Battle of France.

I would not place the invasion threat that spawned the formation of volunteer units in Britain as a consequence of Napoleon III's taking of power in France in 1851, eight years before the volunteer units were formed. We had built amiable relations with France, Napoleon III - who had sheltered in England before returning to France in 1848 - being accepted as visitor and host by Victoria and Albert, and France under him was an ally in the Crimean War. The invasion scare came after the Orsini affair in 1858 when Britain was implicated by France in the attempt on his life. Cloptonson ( talk) 14:25, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
