Robert M. Crone-Massey: Attached is a 7th Hussars photograph I would like submitted to the regimental website. My Uncle, Trooper David J. Crone, of Londonderry N. Ireland; originally a remount rider for the regiment was one of the first trained to drive a tank. He was the tank driver of Major David Younger, B Squadron Leader. He is seated with a friend of his whom I believe is Trooper Doyle. Both were killed in action at Sidi Rezegh, 21 November 1941 and are buried at the British War Memorial Cemetry at Halfya Sollum in Egypt.

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.
Does anyone recognise the officer or any others in the group and know where and when it was taken. I will be grateful for any information received.

Vicki Morton: My name is Vicki Morton, I was born in October 1976, at the Tidworth Military Hospital. I am trying to find out basically where I come from, all my life I knew I was different from my other siblings. To cut a long story short my Father ( the one I knew) was BARRY EDWARD MORTON who served in the Queens Hussars as a Tank Gunner, obviously before I was born and I guess after, passed away last June 2008, before he passed away, I found him ( I hadn't seen him since I was 9 years old) he told me he was not my Father, ( I guessed I wasn't from a young age) All I know is that he and my mother (Jenny Morton nee Winterton, well I think she is, but still there are lies surrounding my whole existence) lived in Germany just before I was born in Tidworth. Can anyone out there help me???? I just want to know who I am and where I come from.......PLEASE XXX

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.

Alan Bowron: Hi
Ladies and gentlemen, Karin and I do hope that everyone is in good
health and that you are all enjoying life. We have lost contact with you
all since we left the Army but we are writing to request your everyone's
assistance in promoting our rekindled business.Over the last few years I
have run what was a successful business in NANO Technology Coatings and
Cleaning materials. 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. We also have some film links as follows:
