Detail

This display tells the story of both antecedent regiments of the Light Dragoons and the part they played in North West Germany during the final six weeks of the Second World War, which in turn led to Victory in Europe Day, 8 May 1945. The Final Push features the role played by the 15th/19th Hussars who, as part of the 11th Armoured Division, came across and liberated the internment camp at Bergen – Belsen on 15 April 1945.
