Honouring a legacy of courage 🫡 Soldiers from 1st Regiment Royal Horse Artillery recreated the historic Néry wreath and laid it on the famous Néry Gun at the Imperial War Museum.

Vlčí mák České republiky mezi symboly spojenců NATO! 🌺 Česká republika je součástí vizuálního průvodce vzpomínkových květin @NATO. Tento rok jsme poprvé představili Vlčí mák České republiky a naše kampaň s mottem "Vzdáleni v čase, spojeni odvahou" pro válečné veterány rezonuje nejen doma, ale i mezi našimi spojenci. Nošením vlčího máku potvrzujeme náš závazek ctít ty, kteří za nás obětovali či jsou připraveni obětovat vše. Česká republika se tak stala součástí této významné tradice a dnes stojíme hrdě mezi ostatními spojenci.

It is with great sadness that we must announce the death of our previous Regimental Mascot, Corporal Derby XXXII, at the age of 8. Prior to his retirement in July this year, he became the very first Regimental Mascot in his lineage to be promoted to Corporal.

It is with great sadness that we have learnt of the death of General Sir Mike Jackson GCB, CBE, DSO, on 15 October surrounded by his family. General ‘Jacko’ served with distinction for over 40 years, finishing his career as Chief of the General Staff. He will be greatly missed, and long remembered. Utrinque Paratus.

Maj-Gen Urquhart talks to some of the war correspondents going to Arnhem – Alan Wood, Stanley Maxted and (I think) Anthony Cotterell, 17 Sept. 1944. Their conducting officer from the Public Relations Directorate of the War Office, Major Roy Oliver, with back to the camera. 1/12

This deceivingly simple bridge over the Basingstoke Canal near Aldershot, Hampshire is a masterpiece of military engineering. Now Grade II listed, it is a rare example of an Inglis Pyramid Bridge from the First World War. Find out more ➡️ bit.ly/InglisPyramidBridge

“We are in a new era and we must be prepared to deter our enemies, prepared to lead our allies and prepared to defend our nation whenever the call comes. “Today our adversaries are busily rebuilding their barriers. Old enemies are reanimated. Battle lines are being redrawn. The tanks are literally on Ukraine’s lawn. And the foundations of the world order are being shaken to their core. We stand at a crossroads. “I can announce today that UK will be sending some 20,000 personnel to take part in one of NATO’s largest deployments since the end of the Cold War, Exercise Steadfast Defender. It will see our military joining forces with counterparts from 30 NATO countries plus Sweden, providing vital reassurance against the Putin menace.”
