How many troops in a confederate regiment?
On paper, an infantry regiment consisted of 10 Companies with 100 men in each for a total of 1000 men. This was a typical size of Union regiments when they were first formed and mustered into service. The Confederate regiments were not quite that size. Many didn't get to be that size as they were rushed into service. After the regiment went off to war, they began to lose men in combat. The regiment was trimmed down even smaller. It was common for a Confederate infantry company to be 40 men. It was common for Confederate regiments to be as small as 250 men during the last 2 years of the war. When the regiment experienced high loss of soldiers and officers, the regiment would be merged or "consolidated" with another regiment. Sometimes it was difficult to know this as they continued to be organized along their old regiment. Thus the 29th Mississippi Regiment and the 30th Mississippi Regiment in General Walthall's Brigade were merged into the 29th/30th Mississippi Regiment soon after the Battle of Missionary Ridge.
What is the oldest guards regiment in the world?
The oldest, continuously formed, active army unit in the world and the oldest infantry regiment in the British Army was formed in 1633 by King Charles I as the sovereign recruited men from Edinburgh to fight in France. They won their first battle honour in Tangiers in 1680 and their first Victoria Cross at the Siege of Sevastopol in the Crimean War. The Battle of Culloden in 1746 was the last time the regiment fought on British soil. Members of The Royal Scots Guards have won seven Victoria Crosses - six during the First World War when The Royal Scots lost 11,162 men. The regiment's motto, "Nemo Me Impune Lacessit" ("no-one dares me with impunity") is now the motto of the new Royal Regiment of Scotland.

What is information on the 251st Infantry Regiment in World War 2?
Try going to WWW.askjeeves.com Type in 251st Infantry. This will give hits to all the web sites that contain any information on the 251th. I did this for The USS Randolph and found a couple of people who knew my Grandfather during the war and a few people who didn't but helped me alot with my research. I checked the organizations of the Infantry Divisions that were formed in WW2 and the 251st Infantry Regiment was not in any of these divisions. If a regiment was not part of a division, then it was an independent unit and possible a training unit in the US. I checked the following reference for units that served in WW2 and Korean War and it does NOT list a unit by that name/identity. Dept of Army Pamphlet 672-1 "Unit Citiation and Campaign Participation Credit Register". From some "hits" on the internet, the 251st Infantry Regiment may have existed in World War 1 but I saw nothing but more inquiries.
