Life has been a bit of a blur since Second Lieutenant William Ferguson commissioned into the Light Dragoons - @LDLightCav - in August 2022.

Light cavalry reconnaissance troops can cover more ground, faster, than any other land asset in the British Army.

Ex SPRING STORM saw us cover up to 60km of forested terrain in hours, sweeping through Estonia at the front of a brigade advance.

LD Battlegroup is part of 14,000 NATO troops exercising in Estonia on Ex SPRING STORM. Reassuring allies, deterring adversaries.

More than 1,200 @BritishArmy soldiers yesterday took part in a rehearsal for the Coronation of Their Majesties at Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Troops followed a route which replicates the actual distances of the London Coronation Processional route on 6 May.
