It would probably be a good idea to learn the basic outline of the history I would say, date of formation, what the current units are doing and where at the moment etc.

Also, may be a good idea to learn the VC's awarded, and also the battle honours of the regiment, just incase, its also good interveiw ammunition.

Good place to start ;)

Sorry mate, not a clue, I just know what they want in interviews ;)

Also try and learn their current assets, i.e. veichals, weaponry, and all the steps in training. They want you to know exactly what your getting yourself into :)
