Within two days, 1500 Liverpudlians had joined the new battalion.

In early 1810 a new 2nd battalion was ready and was sent to Spain.

The regiment raised a total of three new battalions during the war.

He also helped establish a new battalion in the local militia during the 1860s.

These new battalions eventually formed a sort of modern day cavalry for the Army.

They come in new battalions and they don't know your name.

The official said some of the new battalion's volunteers had prior military training, but not all.

The new battalion had no association with the old except for the name.

At the same time a new battalion was formed with the same number.

These fighters, 700 to 1,000 in all, would be formed into a new battalion, the Iraqis said.
