On route home from Bicester, after having its new hood fitted, General Hans-Jurgen von Arnim’s staff car made a slight detour to attend a very special event in Hampshire. On 8th July last year Miss Johanna von Arnim was married to Mr Alexander Welch in St. Paul’s Church, Ashford Hill. Intriguingly, Alexander’s grandfather, Denis Welch, was quite co-incidentally a Lieutenant in the Royal Artillery in North Africa at the same time as Johanna’s relative was conducting operations for the Africa Corps! The Regimental Association wishes them both the very best for their future life together.
