The 16/5th Lancers certainly slowed down when I joined them at Knittelfeld in Central Austria - mind you no one was shooting at us by then ! We had to wait until the Russians moved out to be replaced by Tito's mob before we could take up our appointed positions, then rounding up some bad guys - and being spat on by a very old woman !
Happy days !

As I understood it, the 16/5th Lancers used to be a very posh cavalry unit until they were obliged to take in the hospital throwouts from the RTR units
Anyway, I thought it was my old mob (the 4th QOH) that did most of the rounding up of the SS types in Austria ?
Finally, I have to say that I think the "very old woman" was being very restrained on being confronted by Trooper Canning and his erstwhile colleagues
It's good to see that you are still as lively as ever..... keep taking the tablets !
