In memory of those who died in war and especially the officers and men of the Royal Leicestershire Regiment and of Leicestershire’s two cavalry regiments – the 9th/12th Royal Lancers and the (former) Leicestershire Yeomanry. The latter’s sky-blue uniform facings may well have been those adopted by the QH. Click here to see how you can help the living.

TUMBLERS
CLUB
Tumblers Club is back for 24/25 season. Can you beat the bog-snorkling shown above? The Club is ready and waiting to take your tenner in the name of charity. Remember, where there's mud there's brass (yours, please). If you do happen upon an empty saddle this season please let Izzy know so your entry can be submitted for the end-of-season awards, and make your £10 payment which will go to Air Ambulance at the end of the season. Spotters: keep your eyes peeled.
Please visit here, select 'Tumblers', put the tumbler's name (you?) in the Short Description box and then pay.
