The 1st Queens Dragoons were in Austria recently. They are at home in Cardiff and they still have the double eagle on their caps and on their standards and this dates to the time the commander in chief was the Austrian emperor , an honor granted him by Queen Victoria. They were marking the 1914 anniversary amongst other things and the musicians played the rugby union theme World in Union which I thought was a wonderful gesture.
