The other regiments in the Brigade had recently undergone intensive training at BATUS in Canada which the Hussars missed out on having just arrived with the British Army of the Rhine.ĭue to additional workloads required by the QRIH troops, to make ready for deployment, other tank regiments were asked to help organise their training. The Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Denaro was recovering from a polo accident four weeks earlier when he had broken his skull in four places requiring a metal plate to be inset but was still taking part in the exercise. Prior to the war the Queen’s Royal Irish Hussars had just arrived in Fallingbostel as part of the 7th Armoured Brigade (under the command of Brigadier Patrick Cordingley), part of 1st (UK) Armoured Division, and was engaged in training on the Soltau-Lüneburg Training Area known to all as Soltau.
