Andrew J. Robinson is noted, with photograph, in the Journal of the Royal Dragoon Guards as being awarded the trophy at annual camp for ‘Best Cadet 1998’. He served with ‘A’ Squadron during the summer of 1998 as part of the UN mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In February 1999, he was serving with Royal Dragoon Guards, 4th Armoured Brigade, which was deployed under NATO forces to Macedonia for Operation Agricola 1, and moved to Kosovo on 12 June 1999. From October 2004 to May 2005, Robinson was in 2nd Troop, ‘A’ Squadron during their six-month deployment to Southern Iraq where it was responsible for the security of over 8000 square km of rural Basra, including the oil fields of Al Faw and the deep-water port of Umm Qasr. Further to the North, ‘A’ Squadron worked with 1st Battalion Welsh Guards to secure over 280 square km of the border with Iran. During its time, R.D.G. was involved in several dawn raids, and in securing and arresting several high-profile criminals. Members of the R.D.G. received their Iraq medals on 25 June 2005 in Munster, Germany, from the Prince of Wales, the Colonel-in-Chief of the Regiment and a further presentation was made at Clarence House in July 2008. The last mention of Robinson in the Regimental Journal appears to be in 1996, as Lance Corporal in the Command Troop, Prince of Wales Squadron.
The Royal Dragoon Guards was created in 1992 by the amalgamation of the 4th/7th Dragoon Guards and the 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards. The Iraq medal is the first British campaign medal to be awarded to the 'Royal Dragoon Guards'. During Robinson's service, the unit was equipped with Challenger I and II tanks.
