Just wanted to share with you guys a picture of my Dad who recently passed away, almost 88.
He Joined the RAC in 53' but was the then transferred after learning to drive tanks to a British Military Hospital in Germany with the Kings Own Hussars as he was an accomplished Horseman and there was a "need" to have the officers Race Horses trained and cared for whilst they did their National Service but got to carry on with their Wealthy Lifestyle at the same time as they had their horses sent over to them in Germany. A famous horse my Dad cared for was called "Shangri-La" I have lots of photos from this time in his life albeit he ever really talked much about it.
Anyway, I can't sleep so thought I'd leave a note in tribute to a few guys who might appreciate and be interested.
