Yes, that's what I meant by "with both options". Thanks again.

Please do, I'll be happy to contribute if I can, starting with a first (and somewhat pedantic) remark: the first battalion was "1st Lothians and Border Yeomanry", no "Horse" here, which went to the 2nd battalion: "2nd Lothians and Border Horse" . But you are still correct in that the regiment was indeed "The Lothians and Border Horse Yeomanry"

Michel,

Thanks for that remark. Not pedantic, we must get the facts right.

Please see my thread Operation Infatuate II: Sherman tanks at Westkapelle. If you have anything to add and or correct, please do!

Thanks,
Hanno
