15th/19th The King's Royal Hussars Battlegroup exercised in Nordrhein-Westfalen.

 

LCpl Alien, commanding a Samaritan ambulance tried to get his driver, B Squadron Regimental Medical Assistant to stalk an Orange Forces (9th/12th Royal Lancers) Scorpion which had got remarkably sharp and had cut the ambulance off from Forward Headquarters.

 

The RMA was having none of it and started quoting Geneva conventions at me. Pity: I could have done with those radio codes. I just got back to FHQ in nice time to hear the CO come up on the BG Command Net and quote the QM of the Gurkhas, "The Union Jack is flying over Port Stanley." It was a very warm moment.

 

It was probably my last ever exercise as a cavalryman.
