THE 9TH/l2TH ROYAL LANCERS REGIMENTAL JOURNAL 1 Headquarters Squadron be FL Be 6 Major Wright on parade. Mons/Moy Day J After a good Christmas, 1986 got off to a very cold beginning which was to last all the way through the spring SHQ and saw the Squadron operating in artic conditions on several occasions. In January we welcomed in the new EME Capt Duncanr In February the Squadron was involved in exercise Hard Frost. This was an aptly named out- loading exercise and took place just outside Wolfenbilttel where the snow was about two feet deep and the temp- erature hovering around - 20 degrees centigrade It was during the exercise that our new SQMS, ‘Q' Palfreyman had his first experience of setting up the echelon tentage in bad conditions and this was to stand him in good stead when we went Troop Training in Baden Wurtenburg in Aprilr In March we had * a Squadron border patrol, this gave the REME and Pay Office members a chance to go out and have a two day trip along the Inner German Border. Also in March we went on the Regi- mental Gunnery Camp at Hohne. This is always a testing time for gunfitters Modern gunnery 3l |
