Here's some group shots from an earlier time in the Regiment's history. The Battledress puts the photos somewhere before 1970. Let me know if you can help me fill in some of the many blanks! [email protected] Back Row - MWO George Chow (1953-1965), MWO 2, 3, Lance Sgt 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Cpl Jackie Joyce, 11, Lance Bdr 12, 13, Gnr Preston, 15, Ray Wilson, 17, 18 ,Bdr Joe Phelan, 20, Capt Langmuir. Front Row – Sgt 22, Bdr Eric Tyldesley-Gore, 23, Bdr Al Yelland (Bdr -1963-1964), Maj 24, Bdr 25, 26, Lance Bdr 27, 28, 29, Capt 30. Al Yelland's rank of Bdr helps us to narrow the date down to 1963 or 1964. Wonder what the event was? A Battery group photo after a parade? Interesting sign covering up the BC Hussars crest! Back row – Lance Sgt 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Capt 10, Capt 11, Capt Vic Stevenson
Fourth Row - 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, Maj Barrie Hamilton, 25, 26 Third Row – MWO 27, 28, 29, MWO George Chow, Staff Sgt 31, Peter Erwin?, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, Lt 38, Lt Bill Wickett, Capt 40, Capt 41, Capt 42, Capt 43, 44, 45, 46 Second Row – CWO Bathhurst, Al Sweet?, Maj Griffiths, Maj Mohr, Maj Platt, LCol Elsdon, Capt Clemons, Maj Ted Eckford, Maj Dave Ames, MWO?

By the looks of the leaves on the ground, it appears that this second set of photos might have been taken on the same day in either 1963 or 1964. |
