Doc.

You do yeoman service for us all and for that I am nominating you for membership in Her Majesty's 8TH Royal Hussars Recognizance Regiment..\

The Guidon of the 8th Canadian Hussars (Princess Louise's).

They were a tough bunch and the pointy end of the spear,being a recognizance regiment.Some WW2 battle info..

The Second World War provided the Regiment with its first opportunity for active service as a formed unit as the 5th Armoured Regiment (8th Princess Louise's New Brunswick Hussars) and on 19 August 1941 embarked for service in England.

The Regiment landed in Italy on 19 December 1943 at the port of Naples. The 8th Hussars moved northward with the 5th Armoured Division to take part in the fighting at Ortona. The heavy fighting of the Italian campaign was a demanding proving ground, providing ample opportunity for the 8th Hussars to prove their worth. The bloody battles of Cassino and the Liri Valley, the Melfa Crossing, Ceprano, the Gothic Line, Missano Ridge, Coriano, the Lamone River Crossing and Coventello were a grim testimony to their effectiveness.

In February 1945, the Hussars sailed from Italy to Southern France, moving through France by rail to Roulers in Belgium. The Regiment went into action in Holland, breaking through to Putten in mid-April and then moving North to the final actions of the war in the Delfzijl Pocket, where some 2800 enemy were captured.

Following the war, the Regiment returned to its reserve status. In 1957, a third regular forces armoured regiment was formed and the 8th Canadian Hussars now had both a Regular Forces regiment and a Militia regiment.

So Doc..you are doing a proper job on the recognizance...finding the cheep rooms,,cheep drinks and the cheapest wimmen in Vegas..
