| Buttercup ![]() | Happy St. Barbara's Day, Redleg. Just for poops and giggles, St. George is the Patron Saint of scouts, armorers, cavalry, soldiers, syphilis, and herpes. See any connection there?

| Primus Pilus | Where did the name "Redlegs" come from? I've heard this term before. I'm assuming that the reason is that artilery men used to wear red trousers, hence the name "redlegs", right?? If so, then what army started this? |
