THE 9TH/IZTH ROYAL LANCERS REGIMENTAL JOURNAL 9/12L LAD Marathon team winners: Cpls Eld. Green and Thomas was discovered at the sidings that the Stalwart would not go through French railway tunnels! A very hasty switch of equipment saw the SAMSON just scrape on the train. In July a team from the LAD, ably led by the ASM. W01 Lloyd. success- fully completed the Nijmegen Marches. The team trained hard and this paid off as the hot weather made the event very arduous. Several members of the team suffered severe blisters. none more so than the ASM who battled on despite being in great pain. After completing this herculean task, W01 Lloyd went on to complete another — he got commissioned and is now serving with AMF(L) workshopt We wish him the best of luck. His replacement. W01 Hunt, fresh from sunny Kuwait. found himself busy as we launched into the Autumn exercise period. Ex Eternal Triangle was fairly un- eventful for the LAD with little work for the fitter section and practically none for the main LAD — we all became experts at Trivial Pursuit. The availability of major assembles was such that the whole Regiment was able to motor back into camp, a rare occurrence after a major exercise. After Christmu preparations began in earnest for the handover to QDG. All the effort was rewarded with a very good PRE report with special mention for all the hard work the crews had put in. March was a very successful end for 9/ l2L LAD in Wolfenbtittel. The LAD team entered in the REME Moechen- gladbach Marathon came in first. Special mention must be made of Cpl Green who came in as fourth overall REME runner. The OC and Cfn Whittaker teamed up for the first time to enter Ex SPRING FOIL. a BAMA rally around the Minden area and finished as 2nd Novice. As we say farewell and the best of luck in Wimbish to 9/l2L. we are rapidly sewing on new titles. as we welcome and look forward to a busy year with QDG. |
