THE 9TH/12TH ROYAL LANCERS REGIMENTAL JOURNAL Verbier was to ski as a team and not as individuals and this paid off many times over as we watched other Regiments drop behind us through failing to achieve team results. The collection of very good results included 2L1 Cooke's overall position of 10th, LCpl Hammond’s 20th overall and Tpr Thomas' prizes as Best Novice. At Axams we had to say goodbye to Tpr Randell who returned to camp. It was sad to see him go. a man who became a legend in his own time for his unique style. both on the ski slopes and the dance floors of Verbierl Misfortune struck once again as soon as we arrived in Fulpaier for the Army Meeting, when Lt Carver had to return to UK for personal reasons without even seeing the course. Thus the teem was reduced to hnlfits original number. Nevertheless, all 3 remaining members got results in all but one race and by the end had greatly improved on their original positions. In the downhill 2Lt Cooke came 24th. LCpl Hammond 17th and Tor Thorrias 45th. Overall it was a very successful and beneficial season for the Regimental Team in spite of setbacks, and we look forward with confidence to the new snow and whipping through the heady poles again.
