	1st Royal Tank Regiment - Some Images and Items on old comrades - emphasis on the old!
		The present 2 Royal Tank Regiments are the direct descendants of the Armd car engineers of 1914, the Naval Brigade and the RNAS Sqn which augmented the British Expeditionary Force for the defence of Antwerp in August of that year.
		In 1971, 1 RTR was the last of the Armoured Regiments to be re-equipped with the Chieftain Tank.
		The regiment was by this time highly regarded throughout the army as a Recce Regiment that 'knew it's stuff', so logically (this is British logic of course) we were informed that we would be replaced by 13/18th Royal Hussars and move to Bovington and assume the role of RAC Centre Regiment.

		The Royal Tank Regiment has three such flags, each virtually a holy relic in its own right and all three had seriously degraded over the years and were in desperate need of repair.
		At the time Tank Corps personnel were familiar with the first two elements and clearly looked forward to the third, when they could rest away from war.
		The regiment, commanded by Colonel Alan Jolly, was then equipped with Buffalo amphibians and the famous flag was transported across to the eastern bank, planted for a little while and then carefully returned.
