THE VTH/IZTH ROYAL LANCERS REGIMENTAL JOURNAL Old Comrades Association "All this and the duty tree" The usual full programme of events was held during the year. The organis- ation and planning was done by our hard working Committee, who met regularly at the Household Cavalry Regiment, Knightsbridge. We are grate- ful to the WOs and NCOs of that Regi- ment for allowing us to use their comfortable Mess for Committee meetings. In July 1986 I was happy to attend the first area reunion to be held for many years. This took place at Derby, it was organised by Messrs Jordan and Kelly; about twenty Old Comrades attended and. I believe. enjoyed the evening, It is hoped that this will be the first of many meetings in that area, and that other area branches will be formed to run similar events. In August the usual Service was held at the 9th Lancer Memorials in Canter- bury Cathedral with luncheon arranged afterwards at the County Hotel, A Mons/Moy outing took place from llth to 15th September — it was a last opportunity to visit the Regiment in Germany during their tour of duty in that Country. A record number or over 120 Old Comrades were present. The Wolfenbuttel facilities are excellent and the Regiment worked hard to enter» tain us royally. Thanks are due to the then Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Colonel Robin Readhad. to the Quarter- master. Major David Warlow, the members of the WOs and Sgts Mess and, to all members of the Regiment for their great kindness and generous hospitalityl I am grateful to those members who supported the Field of Remembrance Planting ceremony at Westminster Abbey on Thursday. 6th November.
