HQ Sqn
This was chosen due to the connection with the area in which the
Regiment is currently stationed, as the Earl of Derby was the commander
of the 30th Division, formed from the Wiltshire and Hampshire areas
during World War 1, giving a link between the crest and the local area.

Headquarters Squadron was formed in 1976 when the Regiment moved
from Bulford to Soest in Germany. The Squadron acts as a central point of
contact for the Quartermasters (QM), Motor Transport (MT) and Regimental
Administration Office (RAO) departments. This new Squadron remained
nameless until the Regiment returned to Bulford in 1993.

The name ''Somme'' Squadron is in reference to the role the Iron Division
(the nickname of 3 Division) took during the Battle of the Somme in 1916.
The Division carried out deep night infiltration to within 800m of the enemy
trenches, then after attacking at dawn, captured all of its objectives within 2
hours of the attack. The attack was a complete success and the Division
held its objectives for the remainder of the battle.
