My old Army Reserve infantry unit was similarly named. 11th/28th Battalion, Royal Western Australia Regiment (11/28 RWAR) was formed in 1987 by the amalgamation of the 11th and 28th Battalions, which both served in WWI and both had links back to units that fought in the Boer War. The photo is of the 11th Battalion sitting on the Great Pyramid of Giza in 1915.
