Perhaps Minty is a Closet Hussar

Last photo in the Gallery. I have tried to enhance it but not very well.

Put the msg in the wrong place.....Ageism !
Hiya Minty. What are doing with that "Strange" uniform on ?

The Sgt was as you say smart and a great bloke RIP. He was in the second with me and after leaving the service he lived just behind me and we would often reminisce together until he passed away.
He was also one of the staff at the Boys Squadron and JLR. Last posting was with JLR, second time, as the RQMS boots and socks. Fought in Burma with a Scottish Battalion with Shermans.

Sgt Mckay 2 RTr was a Blenhein PS Sgt and a pleasure to have had him as a ps staff member. His wife ( German?) used to bull his boots so he told us and they were immaculate as was his general appearance. Good bloke along with Mick Bone LG.

I have a photo of me with Minty Rose and others that I would like to put in the photo section but dont know how to do any help

Send it to Charlie and he will load it for you

Send it to me and I will do it for you. My email address is at the bottom left of the page.

Saw Mark Urbans TV prog about the 5th RTR. thought it interesting . back in 58 we had a Sgt (was it) Macay ?? I think he was in the 5th.One of the smartest Soldiers I ever saw (sorry Dick)Bullshit personified

Codders, I think you are right with the name and he was always immaculate, I bet he even pressed his jimjams and his socks.
Hope all is well with you and yours.
Dick.

Query from Minty Rose junior

On the 1RTR Site currently debating which Regiment Lea Dawson served in during his National Service. I believe it was the 14/20th H or the 13/18th H. Any suggestions.

Just to muddy the waters. I thought it was the 4/7th. D.Gs.
