Neil Hotchkin

The EGU relocated the National Golf Centre to Woodhall Spa, and the main course at the club was named the Hotchkin Course.

[3] Neil Hotchkin joined the part-time Territorial Army in 1936, being commissioned as a Second lieutenant in the Lincoln Battery of 60th (North Midland) Field Regiment, Royal Artillery (RA), of which his father was at the time the Honorary Colonel.

[4] During World War II he served with the RA in the Dunkirk Evacuation, the Middle East, and in India.

Then in late 1943 the 60th Field Regiment was converted to infantry and trained to join the Chindits in the Long Range Penetration (LRP) role.

By now a Major, Hotchkin commanded an LRP Column formed by the 60th Field Regiment in the gruelling Naga Hills campaign in Burma during April–July 1944.
