[@lordmiltonkeynes1007]

Got memories of this place too. It was my very first encounter with "abroad". I was a 19yo in a REME unit in the Territorial Army. It was my first "annual camp" and our unit were guests of a REME based there and was in 1965.

[@ernestoguevara8930]

A memory for all the crews of Sherman tanks, who were out gunned and brewed up by tigers! Too late and very in-appropriate!

[@hwz1419]

this is 3 rd Royal Tank Regiment - third batalion RTR not Third RTR. In British Army Royal Tank Regiment is only one. This unit had over 20 batalions in Second WW. Now have two batalions.

[@tankie2ndrtr]

no

[@iceneweb]

Wrong. This is 3rd RTR No "battalion" at all.

[@hwz1419]

@@iceneweb RTR is only one. In 1939 had 8 regular batalions (1-8) and 12 terytorial batalions (40-51). In war forming four new regular batalions (9-12) After war this number batalions was reduced . After 1992 RTR had only two batalions (1-2). Now this is regiment with only one batalion. (1 st RTR). Regiments are only cavalry . Colonel in chef this regiment since 1952 is HM The Queen.

[@iceneweb]

@@hwz1419 wrong. They are called regiments, not battalions.

[@hwz1419]

@@iceneweb RTR have only one colonel chef and only one colonel commendant. pls tell me about list of colonnels in chef "another royal tank regiments" and another collenel commandant rhis "regiments". :)
