Terrance Christopher Szulc, likely of Polish origin, enlisted in the The Royal Hussars (Prince of Wales's Own) on 30 July 1992, whilst living in Buckinghamshire. Following their amalgamation with the 14/20th Hussars in December, he was posted to 'D' Squadron, 1st Troop, King's Royal Hussars. A talented sportsman, he is first mentioned in the Regimental Journal in 1993, whilst representing the Nordic Ski Team in the winter of that year. He would likely have then subsequently served on the deployment to Northern Ireland in 1994, their first in an Infantry role whilst based at Ardoyne, North Belfast. 1995 was clearly a busy year for Szulc, for he would have deployed to Canada for a number of training operations. He at some point appears to have sustained injuries during the trip for the Regiment Journal notes 'leg injury, wearing a neck brace and an eye patch'. Nonetheless, he still managed to finish the year getting married and competing for the Regimental Mountain Climbing Team in Germany. Having taken his leave from the Army, it would appear he performed during the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics; sold together with a good selection of related cloth and metal regimental insignia housed within a file of copied research.
