Queen's Own Hussars
The Queen's Own Hussars, normally referred to by the abbreviation QOH, was a cavalry regiment of the British Army, formed from the amalgamation of 3rd The King's Own Hussars and the 7th Queen's Own Hussars at Candahar Barracks, Tidworth in 1958.
The regiment was posted to Aden in 1967, and to Hohne, Germany in 1970, where it returned in 1985. Stationed at Hobart Barracks, Detmold from 1977 to 1983 as part of 4th Armoured Division. During the 70s and 80s the regiment was in Canada every year training for the impending Russian invasion but also undertook a number of tours of Northern Ireland.
The regiment was amalgamated with The Queen's Royal Irish Hussars on 1 September 1993, to form The Queen's Royal Hussars (The Queen's Own and Royal Irish).
