* Revision 1.1
* On 20 October 2017, it was noticed that Regiment Name passed by the calling program Regiments.wp (armyandnavy) failed when the regiment name contains
* an apostrophe, eg King’s Own Rifles is truncated as King; this did not appear as a problem before but it is now. So the regiment name is
* no longer passed to this page by armyandnavy; instead the regiment id (which has always been passed as a parameter) is used in this page
* to call the function getARegName($chosenID) which returns the Regiment Name for the given reg id
* Page backed up on 30 October 2017 as EastBridgfordWorldWar1_servicemen_in_regiments_30Oct2017.wp.
* Backed up again for the sake of completeness as EastBridgfordWorldWar1_servicemen_in_regiments_12Dec2017.wp on 12 December 2017
