The Royal New South Wales Lancers
Our Association has, like our Regiment, had various titles, and has been going almost as long. Our History says "The NSW Lancer Association was formed in the 1890s, and was flourishing up to 1914. Each squadron formed its own branch, and every member of the regiment was expected to become a member. Activities included organising social functions, managing a benevolent fund for men injured during camps, and providing extra amenities". In the history are many interesting references through the years.
We would like to thank the Royal New South Wales Lancers for generously offering their support to our tank Documentary. In addition to granting us film access to their museum and their own Centurion Tank, they have kindly donated items from their personal collection of war time memorabilia for our film project.
