Recently added list of members

I wanted to call attention to the recent addition of a list of members. I think this is problematic for multiple reasons. First, this is not a list page and the MOS does discourage long lists in narrative articles. Second, it's arbitrary. The list doesn't spotlight historically significant members and even if it did, arriving at who is significant would be a tricky matter. And spotlighting historically significant people associated with the regiment should be covered in the body of the article anyway. I think it's best to just delete the section.
