I was Serving with The 4th / 7th Royal Dragoon Guards based at Detmold BAOR.
I remember it well longest exercise I have ever been on constantly moving to new locations.
Images attached Day 1 and later about three weeks in and on my second Land Rover.
I believe at that time largest movement of troops since the end of WW 2 was what we were told.
I recall queuing up to get free cigarettes war issue I collected them although I did not and have never smoked,much whinging going on I exchanged them for 2 box’s of beer after end ex they gave out newspapers re the exercise I still have them.
No R&R back to Barracks clean equipment and back to work as normal First Parade Monday.
A life time ago.
Regards
Stephen
