17/05/2019 The Queen's Royal Regiment History.

The Queen's is the oldest and most decorated English Infantry Regiment in the British Army, having formed in 1661. This talk will cover its formation, growth, development and achievements to the present day as it is now amalgamated with the Hampshire Regiment to form The Princess of Wales Royal Regiment.

John Sandy joined the Queen's Royal Regiment in 1949. In 1956 he joined HM Prison Service and has been Governor of three prisons and a member of The Prison Board. Ian Chatsfield served with 5th Battalion The Queen's Royal Regiment (Territorial) and was appointed Curator of the Queen's and East Surrey's Regimental Museum. He has led three Battlefield Tours covering the Regiment's involvement in the 1914/18 War.

An exceptional story of one of Britain's and the world's finest regiments. My Dad was in the 1st/6th Battalion from Bermondsey, London as a signal sergeant during WW2. Over to Belgium in the BEF, rescued from Dunkirk, then on to El Alamein. Wounded in North Africa, recovered and went on to Italy, then D Day +1 through Normandy, Holland and ended up stationed in Berlin. We will remember them

Comment: Quetta; discovered that they marched in from Waziristan into Quetta, and a lot of effort was put into stopping looting as well as humanitarian efforts
