 Winston
Churchill was commissioned into the 4th Hussars in 1899. He later became
the Colonel of the Regiment from 1941 until his death in 1965. In recognition
of 'The Greatest Hussar of them all' the Regiment competes for the annual
Churchill Gunnery Cup. The Commanding Officer's tank is also named 'Churchill'.
Every
member of the Regiment wears the crest of the City of Warsaw on his left
sleeve in recognition of the support given by the 7th Hussars to the 2nd
Polish Corps during the Italian Campaign in World War Two.
