Military history
HANOVER WAR CEMETERY 7. J. 16.
1st The Royal Dragoons (part of the Royal Armoured Corps) were actively engaged in North-West Europe during the final weeks of World War II, advancing through Germany toward the River Elbe before ultimately participating in the liberation of Denmark in May 1945.
This period involved intense, localized skirmishes against retreating German forces, mines, and roadblocks, which resulted in final casualties for the regiment just weeks before the war ended.
