lst Troop The training year started as usual with troop tests in Bavaria, We think we were doing very well until heavily penalised {or dirty brake lights (1) during the recce patrol — an injustice that caused Tprs Pegg 49 and Davies to embark on a “dirty protest" for the rest of the exercise. Despite this unforeseen hiccup we still managed a creditable fifth. On return to Wolfenbiittel there were many new faces. Cpl Pearce finally returned from jogging round the Harz. Tprs Whetton and Lowe arrived from the factory. LCpl Wright got married on 27 June — Tpr Galloway hopes to celebrate the anniversary of THE 9TH/I2TH ROYAL LANCERS REGIMENTAL JOURNAL this event the same way that he celebrated the wedding. The rest of us hope not. Before long our thoughts turned to England and Sgt Chapman was seen casting imaginary flies on a particularly imaginary Rutland water. At about the same time LCpl Yorke arrived from SHQ. saying how very much he missed being Major Morpeth’s operator. Now we are back in UK there have been more changes. Sgt Chapman has been detached to A Squadron for the Cyprus tour together with Tpr Davies, who follows him everywhere, largly out of curiosity, Tpr Strong is in exile in Canada saving money to run his XR3i, Tpr Pegg 49 has got engaged. Sgt Collins. Cpl Crafts and Tpr Beasley have all arrived. Only the rock of I Troop, Lt Crewdson. remains, seemingly forever. As an afternote, Sgt Pearce (since departed to SHQ) has been seen buying toys for his new son. 1 Troop trying to invent a new game for the Late Late Breakfast Show |
