Frank's Private Sleigh started me thinking about other troops with festive names and generated a search of the Ancestry index. I found quite a few.

The following are the number of entries so this will include many duplicate names (from the QSA, Supplementary and KSA rolls).

Sleigh - 23
Christmas - 38
Snow - 117
Present - 3
Tree - 14
Angel - 46
Nativity - 1 (WO100/229p143)
Partridge - 240
Rudolph - 25
Trimming - 4
Sprout - 2

And we cannot forget Colonel Yule (one of 48 Yules)!

Hello David,
I think you mean, Paul's Private Sleigh!
Kind regards Frank
