Robin Lumsden Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 Here's the maker's label. Presumably dates from the time when the 17th/21st Lancers were part of the British Army on the Rhine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Stewart Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Here's the maker's label. Presumably dates from the time when the 17th/21st Lancers were part of the British Army on the Rhine. Agreed - certainly made after the last war and would think any member of the GMIC who served with them, may be able to tell you when they served in that area.

Mervyn Mitton Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Robin - I was looking through a ref. book for possible quiz questions and found these three examples of German Regt's. with skull and crossbones. I also found this postcard for the 17th in the back of my diary - we used to have the 1880 pattern horse blanket ornament in the shop. Hope they are useful to the thread.

During the Cold War, I believe the regiment spent almost half its time with BAOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Alexander Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 17/21L first arrived in Germany in Dec 1951 as part of 20th Armrd Bde, 6th Armrd Div, stationed in Munster. In Sept 1957 they moved to Paderborn until Dec 1959. Thence to Far East and Middle East returning to Sennelager Jan '63. After that, Munster again then Fallingbostel. Sick of the cold, wet weather I emigrated to California and left them to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancer1856 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 The Company is mentioned in Seamans book on Arm Badges they made the first bullion Mottos back in 1952 for 17th/21st Lancers. I was lucky enough to find one on an old Mess Dress. Its the first of the Bullion mottos in the attached picture Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
