R.E.M.E. L.A.D. THE 9’TH/l2TH ROYAL LANCERS REGIMENTAL JOURNAL Sgt Williams and Cpl Lindskog with the LAD shower unit Once again we have had a "bush year” within the LAD. Turnover of personnel has meant that all the "Old Faces" who moved with the Regiment from Hohne have been posted and replaced by a new and enlightened work force. We must say “Hello" and welcome to our newe 0C LAD (EME). Capt Dun- can and his wife Alison, and farewell to Capt Williams now posted as 21C at l Corps Tprs Wlts in Bielefeldl We wish you both success in your new jobs. In October this year we will have to say a sad farewell to W01 (ASM) Lloyd and his wife Lynn. Most of you will know ASM Lloyd has been selected for a commission in REME. not an easy feat to achieve because competition within the Corps is fierce I say a sad farewell because. ASM Lloyd will be sorely missed for all his expertise. not only at his job. but also on the hockey pitch when playing for the Regiment and on the football pitch when playing for the LAD. (We had better not mention his squash it might embarrass him), From all the LAD. ASM we wish you success As mentioned earlier the turnover of personnel has been very high. too high to mention everyone by name, suffice to say “goodbye" to those who have left and “hello" to all the newcomers, enjoy your tour in Wolfenbuttel. The training year for the LAD has been quite hectic. the main headache being to obtain sufficient major assem» bles between exercises in preparation I or the next. Ex Silver Jubilee provided very val- uable experience for the LAD in work- ing far away from our Support organ- isationi The lessons were well learnt and helped Ex Rhine Farewell to go so smoothly 12 months later. The LAD patent shower is well used on exercises and has now become a regular pas- senger on the welders' shop trailer. Parades on exercise have taken a turn for the unusual. with the AQMS’s sense of humour being tested to the limited. Typical examples are. parading the rear rank on top of the Machy Wagon, everyone turning up in fancy dress or parading a lump of wood dressed up in combat jacket and tin hat. Where will it end? |
