The Club Route Walk 2009
It all started here. Joe's Bridge near the Belgian/Dutch Frontier.
A few weeks ago some friends and I went off to Holland to raise some money for charity. This year is the 65th Anniversary of Operation Market Garden and we chose to walk The Club Route - the route XXX Corps took in their attempt to link up the bridges captured by the Airborne troops of the British and American armies. The route should have been about 65 miles, however the actual route is closer to 80. We walked it 3 days. We were raising money for the Royal British Legion and BLESMA ( British Limbless Ex-Servicemens Association ). The Ist Royal Dragoons were attached to XXX Corps for this operation and received the Battle Honour 'VEGHEL' for their efforts. I thought I would share with the group some of the photo's taken during our time in Holland.

charity auction (Dorset Squadron) annual dinner
28th Annual Dinner and Dance
Saturday 10th October 2009
The Carrington House Hotel
Bournemouth-on-Sea
180 diners sat down and enjoyed the dinner this year - and enjoyed General Barney even more with his speech. As with previous years, we had the auction in aid of the Household Cavalry Operational Casualties Fund, and with monies donated as listed below we were able to top up the charity 'pot' by £5000.00
Listed below are the five items that we auctioned and the other donations and deails ...
Item 1. Coca Cola bottle-opener - A mass produced example in bright silver metal with eyehole for attachment to string, wire etc. This is a robust pre-loved and experienced item that has seen service in many countries. Comes with to crate 20 x ½ litre bottles of Paderborner Export beer.
Winning bid of £90 from Carl Murray - Brian Mmurray's son.
Item 2. Waterloo 1815 - Two 75cl bottles of barley malt beer, Waterloo Triple 7 Triple, 7.5% alcohol and Waterloo Double 8 Dark, 8.5% alcohol - both bottles bear the intact bottle seal number 1541. Pine racked with a matching pair of 1815 style ceramic rustic Belgium beer cups. Rare and delicious beers with a brewery very near to the site where both the Household Cavalry and Royal Dragoons achieved victory in 1815.
Winning bid of £140 from John Finnie.
Item 3. Vallegre Vista Alegre Port - A presentation set of sealed four half bottles of 10, 20, 30 and 40 year old wooden cask matured port, all bottled in 2007. The Vallegre estate is one of the oldest and original of Portugal . All finely presented in cedar wood as a boxed set. Mint and brand new, all seals intact.
Winning bid of £180 - that John Finnie again
Item 4. Drum Table – The very last of a series of four hand-made drum tables by Member John Hawley. It was John’s inspiration that led to the first auction and has benefited the Fund so well. In divisional colours with the three cap badges on the side and the Household Cavalry badge centered on the top, supported on four gate leg mahogany legs with circular centre plate. Inscribed with John’s mark on the underside of the drum.
Dimensions: height 50 cm and diameter 30 cm
Winning bid of £550 - Len Knox.
Item 5. Household Cavalry Girandole. This is a brand new item, designed by Thomas Messel, who was an officer with The Blues and Royals from 1969 to 1974, he is now a much respected international furniture designer, a winner of several Guild Marks, a D&D award and is a member of the Awards Committee of The Worshipful Company of Furniture Makers.The Household Cavalry girandole design was inspired by the insignia of the Household Cavalry and is finished in burnished water gilt 24ct gold leaf over a hand carved cast resin base. The glass is ‘brilliant cut’ with the E II R cipher and silvered with a unique antiqued sliver “mercury” process. The arm is 24ct bronze ormolu, cast from a 17th century Venetian master. Dimensions – height 50 cm, width 24 cm. Signed and dated by Thomas Messel.
Winning bid of £1900 by - yes -Len Knox again!
But there is more - John Finnie bid £1800 and Len topped with the winner - but john was offered another girondle at his bid of £100 and John accepted and purchased a girondole! Gentleman you are Sir!
Harry Maplesden raised £122 locally and Vic Sturrock sent in £50 in lieu of attending and we had a donation of £20 from Miss Jo Smith. That gave us £4832.00 so Dorsetsquadron tooped the money off from the raffle to make £5000.00 in total!
And we had a rattling good night - and a good Sunday morning too!!
Watch out for the newsletter later in the month and get ready with them £2 coins for next year!!

Harry Patch - The last fighting soldier of The Great War.
It was with great sadness that I heard of the passing of Harry Patch. He was of course the last British soldier of the Great War, wounded at Passchendaele, Ypres in 1917. I had the very great honour of meeting Harry at his care home in Wells, Somerset in August 2006. Harry signed a book for me and allowed me to take some pictures, which I would like to share with you all. Rest in Peace Harry.

A copy of a letter sent to John Matthew that I have received today from Paul Stretton owing to the original not being readable
On behalf of the Commander Household Cavalry, Colonel WT Browne LVO and all ranks of the Household Cavalry, thank you very much for your donation to The Household Cavalry Operational Casualties Fund of £70 collected at the recent 1st The Royal Dragoons Waterloo Reunion.
As you know the Household Cavalry Regiment - known for its ceremonial and State duties - also performs an active, and vital role in armoured reconnaissance.
However well-trained and disciplined its soldiers may be, modern warfare (especially against insurgencies) can and does sometimes lead to injury and death - all too often from a stray sniper, or a hidden roadside bomb.
The Household Cavalry Regiment, which has seen service in both Iraq and Afghanistan over recent years, has lost some of its soldiers this way, with others injured - some of them severely. Like any other extended family, the Regiment cares for those who are injured, and for the families of its soldiers who lose their lives in the service of Queen and country.
To this end, the Household Cavalry Operational Casualties Fund has been set up. It is centrally controlled and held within the Household Cavalry Central Charitable Fund (Charity No: 1013978), overseen by a board of trustees, and intended to help all those who are wounded in future deployments - or to help families of those killed.
The Household Cavalry Regiment is very grateful and thanks you for your donation and appreciates the continued loyalty and support that you show towards the Regiment; this does not go unrecognised by the serving officers and soldiers.
Yours sincerely
Maj (Ret’d) Paul Stretton
Regimental Secretary

mobile phones
Maybe you have heard about this but early next week all UK mobiles will be on a directory which will mean that anyone will be able to access the numbers. It is easy to unsubscribe but it must be done before the beginning of next week to make sure that you are ex directory. We have all unsubscribed and you may want to suggest it to all your friends and family who have UK mobiles or they could be swamped by unsolicited messages and calls. Removal is recommended by the BBC – see link below.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/working_lunch/8091621.stm
Just done this myself. Double checked it wasn’t a scam and it is actually on the BBC website recommending to do this.
The Directory of Mobile Phone numbers goes live next week.
All numbers including those belonging to children will be open to cold calling and the general abuse that less scrupulous
You will need your mobile as you will get a number sent to you that you put into your phone.
You can remove your number from this list, and tell all your friends - especially those with children who have mobile phones. I personally believe my mobile number is private and I should be able to chose who I give it to - none of us agreed to this when we signed our mobile phone contracts.

Daimler armoured fighting vehicles
An interesting post from the NMBVA forum:
Use of Daimler armoured fighting vehicles by the forces in Malaya.
Dear Sirs
I am in the fortunate position of being the owner of a 1944 Daimler Dingo Scout car and also a 1942 Daimler Armoured car. Both vehicles have been restored to road worthy condition and are now used for military re-inacting and charity collecting through out the south east of England.
In September 09 they will be driven to Arnhem in commemoration of the 65th anniversary of Operation Market garden and have been appropriately marked with the insignia of the Household Cavalry and Guards Armoured Corps
The private owners of these rare vehicle have clubbed together and I am responsible for the research into the vehicle historic use.
I would be very great full therefore if any of your ex servicemen would like to share any stories or experiences of interest regarding these vehicles.
In addition we would especially be interested in seeing any photos’ of the cars in service. Photos can be used to check that we have accurately kitted out the cars as they would have been in the past. And also to sometimes to obtain a picture of surviving cars with there service unit.
Sadly the WD records were mostly destroyed when the cars left service
Thanks for you valuable assistance

I am in the fortunate position of being the owner of a 1944 Daimler Dingo Scout car and also a 1942 Daimler Armoured car. Both vehicles have been restored to road worthy condition and are now used for military re-inacting and charity collecting through out the south east of England.
In September 09 they will be driven to Arnhem in commemoration of the 65th anniversary of Operation Market garden and have been appropriately marked with the insignia of the Household Cavalry and Guards Armoured Corps
The private owners of these rare vehicle have clubbed together and I am responsible for the research into the vehicle historic use.
I would be very great full therefore if any of your ex servicemen would like to share any stories or experiences of interest regarding these vehicles.
In addition we would especially be interested in seeing any photos’ of the cars in service. Photos can be used to check that we have accurately kitted out the cars as they would have been in the past. And also to sometimes to obtain a picture of surviving cars with there service unit.
Sadly the WD records were mostly destroyed when the cars left service
Thanks for you valuable assistance
Regards
Mr Stjohn Ager
