Known colloquially as “Cav Mem”, this annual event has been celebrated in London on the second weekend of May since 1924, when the first Cavalry Memorial was unveiled in Hyde Park.

Traditionally the day begins with a parade in Hyde Park of serving and retired soldiers and officers from the cavalry regiments of the British Army, and ends in a memorial service for fallen Cavalrymen. Following the service, the different regiments split off into London for (very) long, boozy lunches!

MCC is pleased to be hosting the inaugural East African Cavalry Memorial Day. Organisers Rishi Ahluwalia and Sam Davies are hoping to sweep up any serving and retired Cavalry officers and soldiers from around East Africa, and replicate the day for those who can’t make it to London.

Please RSVP by 20 April to Sam Davies +254 7574 62955 or Rishi Ahluwalia +254 718 508718, or to sdavies101@hotmail. com
