THE 9THr’lZTH ROYAL LANCERS REGIMENTAL JOURNAL Quartermaster’s Department Since our last notes there have been numerous changes in the Staff. W02 BELLAMY has departed to take over the appointment of RQMS Junior Leaders Regiment at Bovington, He is already. so we are told, heavily into free fall parachuting, mountain walking and hang gliding. It appears that being sur- rounded hy all those Juniors have given him a second lease of life. Cpl MOTUM has left to take up civilian employmenti He is rather keen to become a BIA so that he can reverse the situation so be coming the person who says “No fur» niture is available for your exchanges!" W02 FERGUS has now taken over as ROMS. No sooner was he in the chair than he was thrown into the deep end with Gunnery Camp. Nothing like having to swim from the start. Sgt HUGHES has taken over as Regtl Bk NCO from Cpl MOTUM while Cpl BAGGS is in the process of taking over as clothing NCO from Cpl MUIR. the latter due to depart for civilian life later this year. our line up now reads: QM — Major WARLOW RQMS — W02 FERGUS Barrack NCO — Sgt HUGHES Ammo — LCpl RICHARDSON Clothing — Cpl MUIR/Cpl BAGGS Accm — LCpl BENNETT MFO — LCpl WYLIE Carpenter — Tpr GREEN Tpr GREEN underwent a three month carpenter course with the Royal Engineers so knows how to use a ham- mer and saw. Cpl RICHARDSON (carpenter retired) is watching him like a hawk to ensure that none of his tools are used. This year has seen the Department becoming an Ordnance Depot in the field. moving to Bavaria for Regimental Troop training with all the Regiment's compo for a month. buying in fresh rations and providing fresh bread rolls daily. February saw the Regiment taking part in Exercise HARD FIST, which was a Corps outloading exercise for ammunition, Because of peacetime res- tn'ctions we had to outload all our ammunition to the Cretnlingen Training area and build an ammunition com- pound. The weather conditions forecd the RQMS and Sgt HUGHES to make use of a snow plough to clear the area and form roadways for the CVRm. Whilst the CVR(T) were ‘bombing up’ the OM together with SQMSs departed for the Forward Ammunition Storage Site to collect the Regiment‘s missiles. The exercise was. as far as the Regiment was concerned, a great success with the outloading and inloading completed before last lightl March was the month when we re- turned to the Hohne ranges for annual firing. After Exercise HARD FIST the ‘bombing up’ and movement of am- munition was as easy as getting extra duties from the RSM. The return of the QM from the Wim- bish Reece had both Mr FEROUS and Cpl RICHARDSON dlneing a jig of delight when they learned that we hold no mob ammo there. Allin all. the last year has been one of considerable effort and no little achievement. With our impending move there is still a lot of hard work ahead. 25% off the price of your trip home 100% more enjoyment. DFDS Seaways.
