Life has been a bit of a blur since Second Lieutenant William Ferguson commissioned into the Light Dragoons - @LDLightCav - in August 2022.
He shares his story with us:

Light cavalry reconnaissance troops can cover more ground, faster, than any other land asset in the British Army.
Ex SPRING STORM saw us cover up to 60km of forested terrain in hours, sweeping through Estonia at the front of a brigade advance.

More than 1,200 @BritishArmy soldiers yesterday took part in a rehearsal for the Coronation of Their Majesties at Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Troops followed a route which replicates the actual distances of the London Coronation Processional route on 6 May.
A very warm welcome to @LDLightCav for 2Lt Frederik Deakin following the Sovereign's Parade at @RMASandhurst on Friday. He follows both his father, George, and late grandfather, Tony, into the Regiment.
A great privilege to be @RMASandhurst for the Sovereign's Parade on a bright and chilly day to welcome 2Lt Tom Greaves and 2Lt Felicity Villar into @LDLightCav. Very good luck to you both.
On a sweltering day at @RMASandhurst , a very warm welcome to 2Lts Sam Chrisp, Frankie Lennon and Will Ferguson as they are commissioned into @LDLightCav and join the regimental family. And wishing all of you the very best of luck!
