bigjarofwasps Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Hi Guys,Can anyone shine any light on this for me? How three troopers from the RHG & LG are buried in Habbaniya war cemetery, Iraq. All three appear to have died during the Anglo-Iraqi campaign of May 1941, although I can find no evidence of either of these units deploying to this campaign?

GRA Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 They were part of 1HCR, a composite regiment formed in 1939 by the Household Cavalry intended for deployment overseas. The regiment ended up in Habbaniya Task Force - Habforce. Trooper Shone (B Sqn) is mentioned in "Horse Guards" (page 512) by Barney White-Spunner. /Jonas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
