Mrs Mower - Head of Lancer House
House Background...
Lancer House earnt its name because it was the first regiment that Sir William Robertson worked with called the ‘Queens 16th Lancers’. He was only 17 at the time. Just shows you that age is not an obstacle to having aspirations and achieving great things – something I look for in all my Lancer House members!
