Tony Reid: In the early sixties, ‘A’ Sqn went on adventure training to Southern Germany, and one of the places that we visited was Dachau camp. It has left a lasting mark, just as Bergen/Belson camp has. I was wondering if any one from that era remembers going there. We camped at a place called Kochelam See.

Keith Williams: Ex Trooper Keith Williams, The Queen’s Own Hussars. I was sorry to read about the death of Brigadier Rucker on the QOH notice board. My sincere thoughts go out to his family.

I first met Brigadier Rucker in January 1970 at the equipment trials wing MTDU Bovington he was then a Captain and he was my boss. when I first arrived at the MTDU I had to report to him , I always remember what he said to me “I do not show no favouritism to soldiers who are serving in the same regiment as I am, I expect 100% from you” he then dismissed me and told me to report to The Sergeant Major. I thought that he was going to be a bit of a tyrant but no, he ended up being a great boss, my time was soon over as this was only a 6 month posting, so I went back to B Squadron at Maresfield in June 1970.

I then lost contact with him until he came back to the regiment I think it was about 1975 as Commanding Officer of the Regiment and my last contact with Brigadier Rucker is when he signed my assessment of military conduct and character on the 4th October 1976, one month before I left the army.

The Regimental Band of The Queen's Own Hussars - Ride Again!

David Machon: As you are aware I have been working on a project to reproduce onto CD the 1975 LP The Regimental Band of The Queen's Own Hussars.

They are now complete and I have given 70 Copies to The Regimental Museum for sale to anyone who wishes to purchase a copy.  I have attached some of the artwork from the 12 page booklet that accompanies the CD. It reproduces the original LP along with pages that relate to the Regiments Badges, History, Traditions & Privileges.  These pages are all reproduced from the third Regimental Handbook produced in 1963.  Not sure how much of below you can get on your web site. They show the front and back cover of the booklet and the centre pages that contain the details of the tunes. Also attached are what the CD's look like.

The Guidon presentation is the version that will go on general sale at the museum. I have also produced 2 limited edition versions based on cartoons that appeared in the 1970 QOH Journal. 10 of each will only only be available from me by e-mail.  The transfer to CD from the LP has been done by a professional recording studio and the pictures are proofs prior to being printed. The CD versions are of a much higher quality.

Regards or in this case it really was "Nec Aspera Terrent"  - David Machon

David Machon: Some information that may be useful to those ex QOH members who like me have now reached that age where cruising the Caribbean and the Far East is the most important part of ski (spend the kids inheritance) and enjoy the formal nights, equally of course any other formal occasion they may attend, I have had dealings with:

Benson & Clegg Ltd, 9 Piccadilly Arcade, London. SW1Y 6NH  Tel. 020 7491 1454  Fax. 020 7495 6092         http://www.bensonandclegg.com

In particular with a most helpful member of staff:     Barry Austin      barry@bensonandclegg.com

They will make up to order and now have the material in stock for QOH silk cummerbunds (very loud)! Silk ready tied bow ties and of course for the experts silk self tie bow ties. I have also ordered and set up the origination cost on QOH blazer buttons. The buttons can only be described as excellent quality showing the White Horse of Hanover QOH cap badge engraved on each button. None of the above I believe were available elsewhere previously.


There must be others who like me over the years have looked for QOH items and can only find the tie. Still looking for someone to do the braces! For those with a lot of money to spend Mappin & Webb the Jewellers do the most splendid solid gold chain link Gentleman's cuff links with an actual die of the QOH cap badge in colour mounted on the cuff links.  Very expensive but certainly a talking point when worn. Tell the kids it is what you want for your birthday!

Robert Uhmann: Today I remember my own military period from 1977 until 1980 during I look at your internet presentation. In this time I was a comrade of the third company of the armor battalion 214 in Augustdorf, so we had an godparenthood with your unit. Your location will have been in Detmold at the time.

I remember gladly and joyful for this common time. Play together football, make partys and so on. Sometimes we meet together on training area Bergen-Hohne.

Unfortunately, cutting a long story short, it is now unlikely that I will be able to make any Old Comrade functions in the future, as I find myself living out my retirement in Australia!! However, I am still keen to keep in contact and also would be grateful if you could find out through the website if there are any other ex QOH who may be living in South Australia (preferably living in or near Adelaide)? Especially anyone who may have been unfortunate to have been in the Regiment at the same time?

David Machon:  For those who enjoy "Military Band Music" a new CD out as below. Final track needs no introduction even if it maybe lacks the "panache" of The Queens Own Hussars Band! Good to see and hear the Regimental March living on. Ours was probably the finest Regimental March ever as most others are played in Military two step fashion. But then like most I confess to being biased. This is still a very good CD.

Nicholas Giles:  I am looking for any information/reminiscences/photographs from anyone who knew my late father Horace Giles (known as Jim). He served in the 7th Hussars from October 1931 to February 1938.  The photo of him on horseback looks like a posed, professional shot and I am guessing it was taken at the Cavalry barracks, Hounslow but am not sure. The group photo shows him sitting second from the left, in what appears to be some kind of show or concert party outfit. It may have been taken in the UK up to September 1935, after which he served in Egypt until February 1938.

Brian Pennington:  Hello David, I would be most grateful if you could put the following announcement on the Web Site. A re-union of QOH Band members is being organised in Warwick on Saturday the 27th of June 2009.

The majority of those attending will be from the years--1957 to 1970-- but any ex Band member will be most welcome. If you require any further information please contact me via the button below. The get together will be centred at the Regimental Museum in Warwick commencing at around 1100 with ex band members coming from as far afield as Chicago U.S.A. I hope that we can reach one or two more of our old friends who would be interested and can make the venue. I reserved a private meeting room in a local hotel (3 minutes walk from the QOH Museum). They will serve us a meal there and also any liquid refreshment we may require. They also do B&B if anyone wanted to stay the night, we will just have to let them know if someone wants to book a room well in advance. There is a very nice Tea Room within the Museum complex called The Brethrens Kitchen and the plan is to meet in the Tea Room for Tea or Coffee at around 1100 having had a chat with the proprietor he has agreed to group a couple of tables together for us so we can all be cosy. A tour of the museum would be next on the agenda which would only take around 45 minutes for those who fancy it. After that we could all retire to the Rose and Crown Hotel for a meal and a good old natter. It should be a good day out and I just hope everyone can make it.

Many thanks for any help you can give us. Kind regards Brian Pennington.

Two years ago We had a Fraud within the company and lost a lot of business (and money!) because of this. We have fought over the last two years with the result that we unfortunately had to register our business insolvent last year, add to this that 5 of my family and one of Karins family have been struck down with cancer or serious illness. Because of the insolvence we are obviously working on a very tight budget - the website is not as we would really wish but until funds are in place we think we have done a reasonable job. We are not after money or sympathy just a "boost" in advertising our business and would appreciate everyone sending our website address to all of your contacts or anyone who you might think will be interested and by adding a link to our website http://www.eazy-clean.eu - to your websites or to anywhere you can think of.
