THE-DERBY-DRAW-2024-RESULTSThere was an excellent turnout for the 100th Cavalry Memorial Parade 2024 held in Hyde Park on Sunday 12th May 2024. Both the serving Regiment and the Association were well represented with almost 100 on parade. The Regimental Guidon Party led our marching contingent and the regimental song was sung loud and proud as we passed the saluting dais and our Colonel-in-Chief who is also C-in-C of the RDG, this year’s lead regiment.
Approximately 130 members and guests then lunched in the Lansdowne Club where we were extremely well looked after as usual.
The Regiment is lead next year and I would encourage as many of you as possible to come along and swell our ranks on parade and let’s show the other associations how it’s done!

230708-QRH-Generic-RACMT-ArticleWe receive quite a lot of enquiries about Veterans’ Cards and are aware that our members are keen to hear about advancements in this area.
The latest news is that work is underway to develop the digital verification system required to begin the second phase of the card rollout (to those who left the Armed Forces prior to December 2018).
The Office for Veterans Affairs (OVA) has led this work through the prototype stage, and it has now passed to the MOD for development and roll-out.
The Government will begin issuing cards by the end of this year and will be engaging with veterans over the coming months to participate in the Beta testing phase.
For future updates please visit GOV.UK where the latest news on progress will be shared.
