| 1st
Bn Duke of Edinburghs Royal Regiment |
| Training at
Soltau |
| During its time at Minden the Battalion became very familiar
with the Training ground at Soltau, it fact during the exercises there,
they must have dug half the place up. We had many happy weeks/Months traversing
the training ground either with or against our good friends the Royal
Scots Greys, and later the 16th/5th Lancers. This is where the 'Mechanized
Infantry' skills were firstly learned ,then honed making our Battalion one
of the best. |
