Interview Page

E-zines, like print magazines, frequently include interviews.  I will attempt where possible to speak to people,either by email or one to one........ie: People who served or have links with our Regiment.
 
 
Many thanks must go to 'Doug Best' himself a (ex-Royal).  He has contributed these spendid pictures of his father: who although did his training in 1931 with the 3rd.Carabiniers.....he later was posted to The Royal Dragoons, and subsequently saw service in 'India c1933'.        Hopefully, Doug will tell us a little more about his father's service in the near future.

I am indebted to the Family of 'Bert Butterworth' for the following submissions:  SSM Gilbert (Bert) Butterworth served with the 1st The Royal Dragoons from 1936 until 1949.....his last service in A. Squadron. The following photos are of A Sqn. Royal Dragoons on the occassion of the Kings Birthday Parade in Berlin. 1949.  They are indeed a treasured find.  The family are in contact with me and ask if anyone from that era remember their father and would like to find out more information on his service: ie: which Squadrons, Troops and theatres of posting he may have had.    All information may be relayed through me.......so come on you old ex-Royals, thinking caps on.
