I moved the following short paragraph on the different the name of the unit during the war (Regiment rather than Continental) from the article page. This needs a linked source, although obviously the whole article needs source(s). The text tells the reader to check out sources, but there are no references or links, contrary to Wikipedia style. The edit (which may be accurate) was by User:50.187.189.198.

"This unit was never known as the 2nd Continental Light Dragoons, it was historically known as the 2nd Regiment Light Dragoons. The term continental was only used post war to distinguish between British and American troops. All the documentation of the Revolutionary war period uses the term ‘Regiment’ and not ‘continental’. Even the flag has “regiment’ on it. Check out signatures by Sheldon, Tallmadge and others to see that they nearly always sign 2nd Regiment Light Dragoons."

I will try to find a source for this. Assuming I can find one, I will restore this in slightly modified form. Donner60 (talk) 22:15, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
