Three men of the Mounted Troop, King’s Dragoon Guards, were photographed in Greece during the Dekemvriana fighting of the winter of 1944/5. The photo was taken on 23 February 1945 by Lieutenant Morris, and comes from the Imperial War Museum. There are four photos; this one is captioned:
‘Sgt P Reid of 12 Tavistock Rd., Edgware, Mddx. Trooper F Paternoster of Oak Villa, Ravensood Ave, Crowthorne, Berks. And Trooper E Monks of 135 Northfield, Crookes, Sheffield, Yorks, exercising horses of the K.D.G. in the snow. SECRET: King’s Dragoon Guards, Kefissiam, Athens. Taken by Lt Morris 23.2.45.'
Another photo shows the horse Rose being put into a horse-box while Iris waits her turn. One more photo shows Trooper Paternoster holding Vandola’s head while Trooper Monks shoes her back hoof.
