I concur with Steve, In my collection are four WWI pairs to soldiers that were KIA with different battalions of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers. All these groups are impressed to them as Lancashire Fusiliers, Monmouthshire Regiment or Welsh Regiment, their first regiment overseas. I'm not sure if this is also true when there was a change in rank between postings, all my examples are to soldiers with the rank of private before and after reposting.
