4/7RDG Flash
Hi John
Many thanks for your correction of the "D Day Flash" myth. Ian Gill was my Brigade Commander, 7th Armoured Brigade, when I was with 1RTR in Bergen Hohne in the '60s. You would have to go many a tracked mile to meet a nicer man.
I used the expression D Day Flash because it is mentioned in Lt Col Robin Hodges' book "British Army Badges" under The Royal Dragoon Guards section and therefore assumed it was common parlance in the regiment as he either visited them or they provided the information.
I hope they read posts on the Forum!
Best wishes
Gordon
