It is with immense pride that @RoyMukungunugwa has been promoted to WO1 and will be our next Regimental Sergeant Major. The RSM is the most senior soldier in the Regiment and Mr Mukunganungwa’s promotion is a reflection on years of service and upmost dedication to the Regiment.

Happy 5th Birthday to us! On 2nd May 2015 two historic Army regiments joined as one to form The Royal Lancers in the presence of HM The Queen. 5 years on, with an Op Tour under our belt as well as the suffix "Queen Elizabeths' Own", it's been a great start!

Due to the pandemic, we were unable to gather for the customary Regimental photograph this year. This mosaic captures the men and women serving with The Royal Lancers. They are the Regiment. #People #oneCompany #orGlory

Technical to Tactical. Gunnery Crews now start working together through the shoots: balancing movement and handing over targets. Progressing onwards, they can then tackle more complex shoots in troops set to replicate the COE #strike #orglory

Stealth. The survivability of an armoured cavalry unit depends on it. 1st Troop B Squadron have been testing out innovative methods of camouflage and concealment. We must constantly learn to adapt: testing old practices, and trying new methods.

Delighted to have Ian ‘Chalky’ White speak to us about his rich and varied career yesterday. Great to hear about a fascinating period of history and an inspirational approach to life. He served with the 17th/21st Lancers and 22 SAS, including at the Iranian Embassy siege in 1980.
