THE 9TH/12TH ROYAL LANCERS REGIMENTAL JOURNAL SHQ. The Signals Sgt paid close attention to developments in his special sphere of interest ‘Farewell to Arms' — LCpl Bird left SHQ in April pending relum to civilian Life 20 time in the Sergeant’s Mess, and we await the imminent arrival of Cpl Macintyre, Finally, we actually managed to obtain a clerk who has lasted longer than a fortnight: Tpr King, What else to say? The hierarchy (ZIC/SSM/SQMS Signals Sgt) will probably best remember 1986 for the mysterious deficiency of teddy bears in SHQ. which meant that at any one time on exercise somebody would be without (In joke No. 1.) Otherwise it was a pretty standard (ie frantic) SHQ year, with CPXs imposed upon us as well as the normal squadron commit- mentst Finally. a mention for those stalwarts who have been present through the year. Cpl Grey. LCpl Beak, Tprs Phillips and Sharman and last but by no means least. Tpr Cox who probably has more reasons to remember 1986 than the rest of us put togetheri Admin Troop The troop had a busy start to '86 after which we settled down to make the most of summer working hours. Italy raised some unusual “Q” problem but then. it was a pretty unusual event all round. The final exercises passed off line Tpr Dorning was ab|e to prove to his satisfaction that it is impossible to break a Stalwart using your head and knee but that the reverse does not apply. On return to barracks we bade farewell to SQMS Bond who went off to A Sqn as SSMr We congratulate him and wish him wellt In his place we welcomed SSgt Henderson from 2 Troop who arrived just in time for the handover rush and is now thoroughly broken in. We are safely installed in Wimbish and hope to settle down to an enjoyable routine, after picking up the pieces from a fairly memorable handover. Finally, we bid farewell to Cpl Moulds who has found a new home in the unique C Sqn blue hangars Also due to leave shortly is LCpl Stanley. We hope he finds a de-mob suit that fits, |
