[edit] British Army?

I question the appropriateness of the British Army sidebar on this article. In particular, the words "British Army" in large letters and the Army flag give the reader the impression that British Forces Gibraltar is part of the British Army. BFG is a tri-service formation and as such is not organizationally part of the British Army. Whilst there are a good number of British Army personnel serving as part of BFG, there are also a fair number of Royal Navy and RAF personnel. Furthermore, BFG is under the command of a Royal Navy commodore (at least in recent times). I propose that the sidebar be replaced with a Military Unit Infobox.
