Suggested title for the thread would be "RCD M8 Greyhound".

….except……what dose singular or plural have to do with this? Why are you bringing up an unrelated and irrelevant issue?

An apostrophe “s” is used to show the possessive, and not the plural. In other words I was indicating that the Greyhound belonged to RCD. If I was writing their name in full I would have inserted an apostrophe after the “s” in dragoons, like this “Dragoons’”. However, since I was using the abbreviation I inserted the “s” after the apostrophe, which is grammatically correct. Writing “RCD’” would not make any sense. What would a “d” followed by an apostrophe mean? Besides it would also look weird.
