THE ROYAL DRAGOONS REGIMENTAL COLLECT

O God, in whose sight all creatures are manifest and to whose eyes all things are open, grant that the works Thou requirest of the 1st The Royal Dragoons may never be done to be seen of men, but always for Thy Glory, and that, waiting on Thee to renew our strength, we mount up with wings as eagles at Thy word, through Jesus Christ Our Lord.

  7. I went to the service and met his family again, Ernie was with the Regiment in 1962 as a L/Cpl, he was in the Royal Navy before that and when he left the Royals he joined the Merchant Navy, Olive died in 2000 and leaves 5 loving children and lots of Grandchildren.

    He will be sorely missed
