It is with great sadness that we have learnt of the death of General Sir Mike Jackson GCB, CBE, DSO, on 15 October surrounded by his family. General ‘Jacko’ served with distinction for over 40 years, finishing his career as Chief of the General Staff. He will be greatly missed, and long remembered. Utrinque Paratus.

🎖️ Cpl Prince from The Queen’s Royal Hussars Shines on Ex HIGHLAND HUSSARS! 🍽️ Cpl Prince, from our Catering Department, had an incredible week on Island Ark during Ex HIGHLAND HUSSARS. Not only did he feed 20 officers, but he also had the thrilling experience of stalking – and bagged his very first stag! 🦌 That wasn’t all… he took his culinary skills to the next level by preparing delicious meals using game meats like partridge, pheasant, venison, and pigeon, along with locally-sourced vegetables and fruit. 🌿🍇 Cpl Prince even showcased his expert butchery skills, breaking down whole stags and demonstrating the exceptional capabilities of military chefs in action. Throughout the week, he planned and prepared his own menus, receiving rave reviews from VVIP guests and officers – feedback that was nothing short of exceptional! 👨‍🍳✨ A true credit to his trade and the Regiment! 💪 #WeAreTheChefs #WeSustain #WeAreTheRLC @ChurchillsOwn

Today we think about the dads and father figures in our military family - serving and non-serving. We also remember those who are no longer with us.
