The History of the 4th and 7th Royal Tank Regiments
4 RTR, along with A Sqn 1 RTR, 2 RTR, 3 RTR and H Sqn 5 RTR moved to Reinsehlen Camp near Schneverdingen in Lower Saxony in July 1967 to prepare and rehearse for the Queen’s Fiftieth Anniversary Parade and March Past. It was to have an ambitious format which inter alia involved the entire parade reversing on tracks and wheels some 40 yards, a drive past and an advance in Review Order before dismounting and hearing the Colonel-in-Chief Royal Tank Regiment, Her Majesty The Queen’s address. The reverse in close order proved especially difficult over rough ground for the entirely wheeled 4RTR.
As the rehearsals progressed, from this near chaos came this near perfection ! http://www.4and7royaltankregiment.com/1966-1971/
