We are sad to report the passing of Major General Stuart Watson CBE. From D-Day, to Commanding Officer, to Colonel of the Regiment and beyond. He will be remembered fondly by us all for his unwavering service for many decades. Viret in Aeternum

Very sad to hear that Gen Stuart Watson MC has passed. He landed on Sword Beach on D-Day & served with the 13/18 Hussars all the way through to VE Day & continued in the Army post-war. Always really good to me, he was a lovely fellow, who lived a remarkable life. @AngusWatson13

Happy 100th Birthday to former CoR 13/18th Royal Hussars and D Day veteran Major General Stuart Watson CBE. General Watson commissioned into 13/18H in 1942 and retired from regular service in 1977. He still continues to be an active supporter of The Light Dragoons. 🍾🥂🍾🥂
