In order to keep things together I have taken these images from several other forum messages (which will be deleted) posted by Diane Grist from the collection of her Father, Mne. John Nichol.

God and the Soldier, all men adore, In time of danger and not before.
When the danger is passed and all things righted, God is forgotten, and the Soldier slighted.

Hi Nick
Dad moved up to Salford in 1960 I think, he joined the TA, Duke of Lancasters Own Yeomanry at Clifton, near Swinton Lancashire, I believe they were a cavalry unit, their vehicles consisted of Landrovers, Champs, Ferrets and Saracens, he was promoted to lance corporal on admission to the TA, later promoted to corporal, his CO was a Major Clements
