	'''The Tenth Foot''' (or Infantry) is an old and honorable regiment of the [[Borogravia]]n Army. It has such a length of tradition that it has two nicknames: the ''Ins-and-Outs'', from the motto above, and the ''Cheesemongers'', from a folk song about about a soldier stealing a dairymaid's cheese. This last is ~~unusually~~ risqué for Borogravia, but their shako badge is a flaming cheese.		'''The Tenth Foot''' (or Infantry) is an old and honorable regiment of the [[Borogravia]]n Army.

'''The Tenth Foot''' (or Infantry) is an old and honorable regiment of the [[Borogravia]]n Army. It has such a length of tradition that it has two nicknames: the ''Ins-and-Outs'', from the motto above, and the ''Cheesemongers'', from a folk song about about a soldier stealing a dairymaid's figurative cheese. This last is unusually risqué for Borogravia, but their shako badge is a flaming cheese.

For much of recent history the Ins-and-Outs have been famous for including Sgt. [[Jack Jackrum]], the toughest NCO in the army. Most recently, it held Jackrum's squad of [[Book:Monstrous Regiment|rookie commandos]] under Lt. [[Blouse]] who changed the war and the country.

Many of the Borogravian staff officers and even General [[Froc]] have been in the Tenth with Jackrum at one time, but who remains and who has moved on to the general staff is unclear.
