Mr Graham said:
“I acknowledge that the Queen’s Dragoon Guards are one of the oldest regiments associated with Wales. The ‘Welsh Cavalry’ is unique in the specific opportunities it offers Welsh servicemen, to support and strengthen the combat effectiveness of the British Armed Forces.
“I also recognise the huge contribution and sacrifice made by the Welsh Cavalry to the British Royal Armoured Corps over many years. That is why I support this regiment and the traditions that it embodies.
“I wholeheartedly add my voice to the calls on the Army Board to recognise the strong Welsh heritage within the British Army and support the retention of the only Welsh mechanised regiment remaining in the British Army.”
