Bn. Royal Sussex Regt./3rd Bn. Queens Regt.
INTERNET ADDRESS : www.1royalsussex-3queens.com
WHY
? : Our aim is to establish and maintain communication between
ex-members of the Regiment, to promote and maintain our “esprit
de corps” and all other aspects concerning Regimental honour,
traditions, reunion or remembrance. “ A Regiment is only
forgotten when the last man stops remembering ”
WHY BOTH REGIMENTS ? : Within the short history of the Queens
Regiment (only26 years), many long serving members were “Orange
Lillies” anyway or vice-versa. We hope it will be the 3rd
Queensmen that will carry on our traditions when the last “Orange
Lilly” passes.
