14th/20th KING’S HUSSARS 1939 – 1945
In February 1941 the Regiment provided the nucleus around which were formed the 26th Hussars. This nucleus consisted of the Commanding Officer (Major J. B. Norton), eight officers and 102 N.C.Os. and tradesmen; the deficit being made good by the arrival of 200 men of absolutely first-class material from England just before our mobilisation.

The positioning of the new 14th/20th King's Hussars memorial at the arboretum couldn't be better. It is placed just on the right of the footpath as you walk to towards the main armed forces memorial in the centre of the establishment, next to that of the King's Royal Hussars if you have seen that before?
