Hallo, all ex-Royals. This is Jim Harris calling from South Australia where we have been living for nearly 40 years now. On my 21st birthday in August 1950 I got a punishment posting to 7th Armoured Div. because I married Ilse, my German Fraeulein, without the permission of the Regiment(then Capt. Dimond). I drove one of the last 3 tonners of the Regiment out of Berlin in Feb. 1950. The Sgt. in charge was Eli Joyce. We both remember Derek very well(known as ??????). I think I can remember George Warwick but it is now so long ago.. If any of you want to know more about us please look up your back-copies of "The Household Cavalry Journal" for 2003/04 and 2006/07. Jim Harris.
