Yesterday @RDPHistory you talked about Mike Scott’s orders and getting men to their feet in the face of artillery fire. This is the man who led from the front. Cmdr Left Flank on the day. Tip of the ��� General.

The company commander Left Flank Kizeley got his men to their feet and was in hand to hand combat in the Argentine trenches, bayonet fixed, leading from the front.

2) The decision to use the Scots Guards comes from Whitehall. Though some oppose the decision, the choice will be more than justified... and having met so many of the men who did it, there is no doubt in my mind either.

@James1940 Sorry for being so challenging over “battle honours” but being 3rd generation 11 H we have always being told about our record as being first. Another source might be @AntonyBeevor as he too was 11H. Happy to chat

[James Trotter @JamesT_eib]

It’s seems the source of 44 11 Hussars battle honours is the Imperial War Museum. Hopefully a reputable source. Does this provide the final answer I wonder. 🎤🎤🎤🎤drop @almurray

[James Holland @James1940]

Sherwood Rangers had 36…

[James Trotter @JamesT_eib]

Just put it through co pilot and asked a different question. It seems 11 Hussars actually had 44. Here’s the link https://t.co/Pix68y2oC2…. Interesting the discrepancy but now who’s right. This is intriguing. Careful with the BOOM 💥 @almurray it’s not done yet

@James1940 @WeHaveWaysPod @almurray Time to correct the record. As Mark Twain once said “never let the truth get in the way of a good story!”

[James Trotter @JamesT_eib]

Time to put the record straight @James1940 Started 1939 in North Africa finished Hamburg 1945. Travelled further than any other regiment @almurray

[James Holland @James1940]

New 4-parter on the @WeHaveWaysPod - the British Band of Brothers, in which @almurray & I follow the incredible story of the Sherwood Rangers, the single British unit with more battle honours than any other in the war. We’ll get through their entire story in time but we’re starting with D-Day and the fighting of June 1940. Amazing men. I’m in awe.

[James Trotter @JamesT_eib]

Always said there is a regiment that deserves greater recognition. 1st in action North African campaign. Travelled further than any regiment in the war & was the spear tip of 21 Army Group entering Hamburg first. The Regiment 11th (PAO) Hussars. Best Recce Regiment of the war

@RDPHistory Think it’s clear in the Col’s mind that the Para RM Bde was finding every way not to support 5 Inf. Whilst the Navy nearly sank the Scots Guards the night before then failing to get the landing craft in the right place to deliver 1WG. Conspiracy or incompetence

@chiselbury @HistoryBro1 Joined on the right hand side by the regiment who proved the best recce regiment through WW2. They just don’t have to shout about it 😉
