The Association Company Camp Colours

Some time ago, I suggested to the Regimental Adjutant that the Old Third Battalion Company Camp Colours might be redesignated. The Regimental Adjutant discussed it with the Lt Colonel and, since the 3rd Bn is unlikely ever to be taken out of suspended animation, he decided that we would reallocate the Camp Colours of the Commanding Officer (No 22 – A crescent light or beacon burning) and Adjutant (No 24 – For Ireland a Stag couchant issuing from a Tower) of the 3rd Battalion, to the President and General Secretary of the Association respectively. Clearly, this is a much more worthy use for them than gathering dust metaphorically and physically, on a shelf in the stores! Thus, these two Colours now reside, rather splendidly in the General Secretary’s office and will, doubtless see the light of day on equally splendid Association “occasions”. They will be on parade on Regimental Remembrance Day and Grenadier Day.

aving enjoyed a successful exercise in Kenya, under the new

Commanding Officer, Lt Col Roly Walker, everyone enjoyed a spot of adventure training before returning to Wellington Barracks. The Battalion then conducted some small work up exercises and some Public Duties, including Street Lining for the Queen’s Birthday Parade. Home Service Clothing was then packed away and the focus was fully on Afghanistan, with the Battalion completing the OPTAG packages and exercises. They did exceptionally well and as a result, were rewarded with the most challenging Battlegroup, to relieve the Welsh Guards for Operation HERRICK 11. The Grenadier Battlegroup has an attached Company of Estonian Soldiers, as well as Companies from the Duke of Lancashire Regiment and the Royal Anglians. A families’ Church Service was held on the 4th September, led by the Bishop of London. It was nice to see that so many families had made the effort to travel to London. The Battalion is now fully deployed and will be returning from OP HERRICK 11 in March/April 2010, before being presented with new colours, hopefully in May. They are also hoping to Troop the new colour at Her Majesty’s Birthday Parade in 2010. Towards the end of 2010, the Battalion is planning to move from Wellington Barracks, London, back to Lillie Barracks in Aldershot.

Nijmegen Company

ijmegen Coy has now been based in Napier Lines, Woolwich since

September 2007. Over the course of the year, the Company has been involved with the usual busy calendar of State Ceremonial and Public Duties, including providing Number Four

Guard on this year’s Queen’s Birthday Parade. The Company has also continued to act as the first port of call for all Guardsmen finishing training and following the troop, it ‘delivered’ 60 Guardsmen ready to deploy on Operation HERRICK 11. The Company has also been busy sending Guardsmen on various exercises, including having a platoon on exercise in Belize for a month, with the Platoon Commanders’ Battle Course. For some, this was their first exercise out of training and an enormous eye opener! The Company has enjoyed some well earned leave and has returned to a busy period of Public Duties and State Ceremonial commitments. Regimental Band

he Band has continued to play its part in the busy ceremonial calendar.

At the beginning of the year, the Band continued its successful spell in Germany, with a couple of Quintets conducting many public performances through January. The band also played its usual key roles in the Cenotaph Parade, in November and in the State Opening of Parliament. On the 26 April, the Band held a Concert for the Colonel’s Fund in Norfolk Notes from the Regimental Adjutant

he 1st Battalion has now fully deployed, less a few stragglers, to

Helmand Province, the last flight having departed on 22 September. They are currently undergoing an in-theatre training package which is being run by 1st Battalion Irish Guards and already the “2nd XI” Command Team have moved up country to start the relief in place of 1st Battalion Welsh Guards. One Gdsm has been casevac’d home, suffering from severe heat illness. Once the Battalion is in place, on about 3 Oct, I am expecting to be able to communicate with them and as a result hope to be able to send regular updates on

what is going on. Closer to home, on 20th September, Nijmegen Company and the Regimental Band played a major role in commemorating the 65th Anniversary of the Battle of Nijmegen.

The Commemoration was attended by The Colonel and Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands and the Grenadiers added a splash of colour, symmetry and precision on a glorious late summer’s afternoon. Peter Carrington was there too, with his “ADC” (and Godson) Valentine Cecil and he made a most eloquent speech after accepting Nijmegen’s Medal of Honour, on behalf of the Guards’ Armoured Division. After the Commemoration, the Regimental Band and Nijmegen Company led a column of World War 2 vehicles over the Bridge and back. The Lt. Col. and Regtl. Adjt. had great enjoyment in persuading General David Petraeus to walk back to the Town Hall for a Reception behind the Band and Nijmegen Company, rather than going in his armoured limousine, much to the consternation and hysteria of his security detail! In all, it was a wonderful occasion.

he new Regimental website, which has been masterminded by Alan

Ogden, is about to be launched. Although “up and ready”, it is still work in progress; thus any practical and constructive suggestions are welcomed, bearing in mind that major architectural changes are unlikely to be feasible, whereas more minor cosmetic changes could be. The site

should be available for viewing in the next fortnight or so and the address is www.grengds.com . The aim is to have a website that embraces the whole Regiment, serving and past, whether they be members of the Association or not. The theme is “Once a Grenadier, always a Grenadier”, with a view to making it easier for Grenadiers to keep in touch and meet up with each other.

The Association trip to Nijmegen

A party of 60, from the Association, based themselves in Eindhoven in preparation for the Celebrations of the 65th Anniversary of the liberation of Nijmegen, during September 1944. Arriving late in the evening of Friday 18th September, after a long coach ride from Calais, we settled into our rooms, superbly coordinated by the Coach Company, Turners of Bristol, and LSgt Jay Ellingham.

The following day the party attended a reception in the town of Oss where the The Mayor, Mr. Herman Klitsie, gave a speech of welcome. A reply was given by Major Frank Green, a veteran of the liberation. We were invited to lay a wreath at the town’s new war memorial. This was carried out, with due reverence by Major Frank Green. The Memorial had been designed and constructed by the youth of Oss. It is called the ‘Monument to Freedom, Tolerance and Peace’. After a moving, ceremony we were invited to have lunch in the Town Hall, where we

T

were introduced to distilled gin evolved from the Dutch spirits called Genever. It was used drink toasts with the towns’ dignitaries. Captain Trevor Rolfe, Association General Secretary, presented The Mayor with a print of ‘Winning the Fire Fight’ (available from the Association Shop, proceeds to the Colonel’s Fund), We made our farewells and left Oss, via Sgtbrownstraat, named after the only Grenadier to die in Oss. We headed towards Heesch, arriving in the afternoon, passing along Grenadierstraat, named in honour of the Regiment. At Heesch we met up with the President of the Association, the Regimental Adjutant and Colonel A.T.W. Duncan, President of the London Branch.

We were introduced to the Burgemeester of Bernheze, Mr. Jos Heijmans, who was very keen to meet those that had fought in the Battle of Heesch, on 23rd September 1944. The Association President, Colonel E.H. Houstoun. OBE laid a wreath at the graves of the two Grenadiers. We were invited to take refreshments in a local restaurant, De Waaed, during which we

watched a short film, depicting interviews with veterans and some old news reels of the advance into Holland. The President made a speech of thanks and presented the book ‘British Grenadier’ to the town. The Grenadiers will take away with them treasured memories of lasting friendship, with the people of Heesch. On Sunday 20th September, on our way to Nijmegen, we stopped off at the Uden War Cemetery. It is located on a stretch of the old ‘Hells Highway’. We were very fortunate to meet Mr. A Verbakel, the President of the Historical Society of Uden War Cemetery, who, in impeccable English, explained the development of the Cemetery, to accommodate the bodies of the many airmen shot down over Holland, followed by the dead of ground forces of ‘Market Garden’. A wreath was laid at the memorial by Captain Trevor Rolfe and the dedication said, before proceeding to Nijmegan. On arrival at Nijmegen, we eventual took our seats in a grandstand, at Emperor Trajan Square. This is where The Kings Company and Number 4 Company, Ist Battalion fought, to secure the access to the bridge head, that allowed the 2nd Battalion tanks to approach in readiness to dash across. The remainder of the Nijmegen visit is recorded elsewhere in these notes. The full overview of Market Garden and the visit to Holland by the Association, written by Major Frank Clark, Grenadier Guards and Intelligence Corps, to whom the party were very grateful for his overview of each site visited, will be covered in the 2010 Grenadier Gazette.

Grenadier Day at Littlecote 2010

ecause the Battalion are due back from Afghanistan in the late spring of 2010,

Grenadier Day will be renamed ‘Grenadiers Return’. We also have a theme tune to match! The event is to be held at Littlecote on 26th June 2010. Planning is well underway but the main topic is yet to be decided.

B

It will be a very special occasion, where it is hoped that many will turn out to applaud the Battalion. All funds raised will be in support of the Colonel’s Fund, which provides assistance to those in need of support, resulting from operations. Grenadier Gazette

e are collating items now for the 2010 Gazette, due to be published

in April 2010. Please dig deep; we need interesting articles with photographs. If you want the photograph back, please put your name and address on the reverse. Annual General Meeting

he Annual General Meeting for 2010 is scheduled to take place on 20th

March, 2010. All are most welcome to attend. The format will be the same as in previous years, with a period set aside to enable Branch Secretaries to bend the General Secretary’s ear, prior to the AGM. Lunch afterwards, will remain the same as in previous years. Regimental Remembrance Day Black Sunday

lack Sunday 2010 will take place on the 16th May. As many of you will be

aware, the initial form up and march into the Chapel no longer takes place. Instead, those attending the services simply take their seats prior to the service, to enable everyone that needs a bench to bunch up and to allow as many people to sit down as possible. Please fill up the seats from the front of the chapel.

The Mareth Cross 16th March 1943

he Regimental Adjutant will lay a wreath at the Mareth Cross, at the

same time as a wreath is laid in the Chapel Cloisters. Visit to Mareth

n extract from the memoirs of Chris Izod’s holiday in Tunisia. The full

interesting account will be published in the Gazette 2010 “Past holidays have taken in the Normandy beaches, the River Kwai and Ypres, and there it was, 250 miles south of our hotel in Sousse, Mareth, the Regimental Battle Honour, where 77 men of the 6th Battalion fought and died, in the battle of the Horseshoe, on the 16th and 17th March 1943. I also found out through a telephone conversation with Captain Hon. J Forbes, whose father fought at Mareth, that the fallen from the battle were buried in a Commonwealth Cemetery at Sfax, which was on route to Mareth”.

The Grenadiers of Mareth at Sfax

Commonwealth Cemetery. “The Grenadiers of Mareth occupy the first two rows in the cemetery, 77 graves in total with seven more further back. I found all those Grenades on the headstones really quite moving. I paid my respects to the fallen; I then decided to visit the Indian soldier’s cemetery that for some reason is separate and about 100yds to the rear of the main cemetery, crossing some waste ground which was part of the civilian cemetery”.

continued reminder to Branches and their members; you must not give out

names, addresses and telephone numbers of members to any one not authorized to receive them. The correct procedure is for the person making the request to write to the Branch concerned. The letter should then be passed to the individual, for him to make the decision as to whether to make further contact or give out his/her phone number. Funerals

hould you receive a request for a serving Soldier or Drummer to attend a

funeral in Home Service Clothing, you must contact the Regimental Adjutant, at Regimental Headquarters, not the Association. Requests of this nature are not always granted. Branch Lunches and Dinners

ranch Secretaries are requested to make clear the request for an Officer

of the Regiment to attend their Dinner or Lunch, as the guest speaker. Details of accommodation and location are to be passed directly to the Regimental Adjutant, at Regimental Headquarters. Branch Accounts

ll Branch Secretaries are requested to advise their respective Branch

Treasurers, of the need to ensure that Branch Audited Accounts are with the General Secretary, by 1st February 2010. Please make arrangements now with your Auditors, to ensure that this deadline can be achieved. Any Branch Account not compiled in the correct format, will be returned to the Branch President. Hopefully, we will still be getting the Branch Treasurers down to London, to participate in a Workshop dealing with the new modified way of sending the accounts into RHQ. Meanwhile, continue to collate as before. The new system will only be the

transposition of figures and is relatively simple. In general terms the following course of action should be taken:- a. Branch Accounts audited by a Professional Accountants do not require supporting documents. b. Those accounts audited by two members of the Branch must include the following: c. Bank/Building Society Statements and the Audited Account, as at the 31st December 2009. d. Reconciliation between Bank/Building Society Statements and Audited Accounts i.e. unpresented cheques. e. Certified list (signed by the Treasurer and the Auditors) of significant assets i.e. stock of for sale items, stocks and shares, property and cash in hand. f. Professional Accountants must audit all accounts, in excess of £7,500. May I please remind all Treasurers that the Association will continue to pay 50% of your General Administrative costs up to a maximum of £250. You must ensure that a copy of your invoices accompany the Branch accounts. No invoices, no Admin costs paid!

Visits to personnel being treated at Selly Oak hospital

ou will be aware of the levels of operation causalities and the fact that

the majority are treated at Selly Oak Hospital, mainly on military ward, S4. Comdt Royal Centre of Defence Medicine (RCDM) oversees all aspects of their treatment. This includes maintaining a control over the numbers of visitors to military patients. In S4, only 3 persons are allowed at any one time at the patient’s bed during visiting hours. With the best of intentions from all concerned, numbers of visitors have increased considerably recently and a degree of control is required in order to support the patients and nursing staff. Soldiers look forward to visits from family and friends. They also value visits of their close chain of command – UWOs, OC Rear Parties and similar, particularly as they keep them abreast of Regimental matters. They also see the relevance of visits by senior members of the chain of command, including Colonels of Regiments. But others with less immediate connections, Regimental Associations for example, are seen as less of a priority. Therefore, given the current pressures on S4 and until further notice, I would ask that visits are limited to: 1. Those with an immediate connection to the casualty – UWOs, OC Rear Parties. 2. Direct Chain of Command. 3. Senior visitors (2* and above) who should continue to be coordinated by Comdt RCDM. I would particularly ask Regimental HQs to inform their Associations, whilst appreciating their intentions, not to visit Selly Oak. Should Comdt RCDM identify a patient or family who would benefit from a visit from Regtl HQ or Association, an approach would, of course be made.

In asking for your support, Comdt RCDM assures me morale on the ward amongst patients and staff remains high and our wounded soldiers very much appreciate the superb support that has been shown by so many visitors in the past. I recognise that such visits may be welcome at RCDM again but for the moment, the needs of the patient must come first. This letter is signed by The Director General Personnel HQ Land.
