    I was looking up a name on my village memorial as it was the same as my wifes maiden name , came to light it is her grandfathers brother who ran off and joined the RFA early WWI, coincidently 2 other names came to light 1 from my Regular regiment and 1 from my TA regiment, you can guarantee I'll remember them by leaving a cross on the Cenataph next Sunday.

    definitely Bridge to Far as big brother was REME attached to Life Guards who supplied AFV crews to man vehicles and you see him in film mounting recovery veh during film. Baz.

    Nolan had galloped ahead of the trotting column, that is when he was struck by one of the first shots from the Russian guns. The reason for Nolan galloping in front has been debated, one side saying that he wanted to lead the charge, and the other stating that he had realised his mistake and was attempting to stop the charge. Baz.

    What we used to do with the 76mm was to use tins of dried rice and you used to have a 76mm shot gun. I can remember one exercise when we were in Germany using Scorpion we were waiting in ambush in a village when the enemy (2 x Marders) came round the corner, all you could hear was the Tp Ldr (S/SGT) shout "FIRE" and All THE WINDOWS in the high street shatter. Oh what a laugh :-D. Baz.

    A similar thing happened to me on Hohne ranges in Germany. I was commanding a Scimitar in A (cowboy to some) Sqn 15/19H and we were completing a section (2 veh) battlerun when I started to engage a pair of soft veh tgts on auto with the 30mm. half way through the engagement I noticed through my sight that there was a strange object following the rounds down range, :dunno: on returning to the firing point after completing the run I noticed that I was missing the flash hider from the end of my barrel. This is what I had seen accompanying my rounds. :whistle: Barry.

    don't forget we need to remember what ALL of our forces are doing and in who's name they are doing it. Barry.

    the order was given to Capt Nolan 15 H who as a writer of cavalry horsemanship and could get there quicker than the HQ galloper by riding straight down the ridge to the Light Brigades posn. He pased it on to Lord Lucan who then led the fatal charge of 673 of which 157 died. To cap it all the 13th Light Dragoons and others amalgamated with the 15th Hussars to form the Light Dragoons. Barry. Ex 15/19 H

    Another method of heating food was to wire unopened compo tins to the outlet louvres on your ferret and the heat from the engine running used to have your food hot by the time you got to where you were going. The main problem was by the time you got your brew and food served it was guaranteed that you would get a order to move. Barry.

    Go on, give us the answer. Barry

    the greatest distance in a straight line was the USA from Utah, but he largest area cleared was the UK/Canada from Gold and Juno. Barry.
