Welcome to the Hawk's Nest, a site dedicated to the history of the 14th/20th King's Hussars.This site is not intended for the site to be a dry list of historical events, but rather to be a living reminder of the family that a British Army Regiment can be. Use the links at the top and bottom of each page to navigate around, and please report any dead ones.

To keep with the relaxed nature of this we need to know if you were an ancient warrior? Do you have a story to share from your days in the Regiment? Why don't you share it with your old muckers, take them a trip down memory lane and tell the new boys how it really was?

It will soon be possible to add the story directly onto the site, but in the meantime why don't you send it in and it will be published on the "Old Soldiers Tales" pages.

Read the account of a National Service entry into the Regiment in 1948. Peter Head's wonderfully evocative account on the Old Soldier's Tales Page

See the pictures from Mervyn 'Knobby' Peckham in the gallery section.

See Also the service history of Sergeant Edward, Richard, Sharman 14th Dragoons on the Old Soldiers' Tales page.

See the section called Tools of the Trade' a section showing examples of the types of vehicles used by the Regiment throughout its history
