Adrian Dwyer Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Morning all, I know TM 9-707 is available digitally but some years ago I was given the attached 'original': formerly the property of Dvr John Henry Barnes. A few images below. The word 'Naples' is also written on the cover. All the best. A 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Dwyer Posted August 11, 2023 Author Share Posted August 11, 2023 In very faint pencil, are the following words: 'Bull's Troop, The Horse'. I stand ready to be corrected but this may be a reference to Royal Horse Artillery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was concentrating too much on 'The Horse' and thinking I'd heard that in relation to Household Cavalry. Rookie error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07BE16 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I didn't spot the 'The Horse' bit but had a recollection that 'Bull's troop was RHA - got to the same place regardless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
