Hi Gerry and Spidge
I see Spidge says "No insinuation of officer privilege there is there Gerry?"
One of my treasured posessions is the autobiography of George Kennard, better known as Loopy Kennard, ex CO of the 4th QOH.
The book is entitled simply "Loopy".
After spending most of the war in a Geman POW camp he was released at the end of the war and subsequently joined A Sqdrn at Monfalcone.
The reason I mention all this is that when he re-joined the regiment from England he brought with him a pack of hounds for their fox hunts !
Officer privilege ? You don't say !!!
