In memory of those who died in war and especially the officers and men of the Royal Leicestershire Regiment and of Leicestershire’s two cavalry regiments – the 9th/12th Royal Lancers and the (former) Leicestershire Yeomanry. The latter’s sky-blue uniform facings may well have been those adopted by the QH. Click on the British Legion poppy above left to see how you can help the living.
