		George II was the last British sovereign to command his troops on the battlefield (Dettingen, 1743).

		The title "yeomanry" continues to be used by armour and armoured reconnaissance of the Territorial Army, as well as units which have in the 20th century converted from cavalry to other arms.

	Regiments of the British Army: Overview
		Snapshots of the British Army, in the form of rolls of regiments at various periods in the Army's history, serve to illustrate the evolving continuity and heritage of the regimental system that has been described as both the envy and puzzlement of the rest of the world.
		By 1702 a sense of seniority and precedence across the three establishments was beginning to evolve as Parliament, ever suspicious of the Army, forced major cuts after every war or crisis, and the regiments sought a claim to survival based on seniority.
		The administrative brigades were superceded in 1968 by six divisions, and in 1969 regiments discarded their brigade cap badges and reverted to regimental ones.

		Returning to Egypt the horsemen were quite enthusiastic to regain their mounts although there were many empty saddles to fill and time to devour in training for mounted operations across the Sinai desert.
		In due time with the raising of the Second AIF divisions for overseas service Brigadier Robertson became one of the three brigade commanders in the 6th AIF Division as senior officers were posted to new formations.
		During these difficult days the establishment of the Commonwealth Division owed much to the effectiveness of Robertson's command and when it became operational the mixed formation went on to be regarded as one of the best in that most difficult theatre of war.

	YEOMANRY REGIMENTS Over 200 Years of Tradition
		The Yeomanry Cavalry was first formed in 1794, comprising part-time volunteers, to defend Britain from invasion by Revolutionary France.
		Although it became much changed in character during the course of the century, the Yeomanry still faithfully reflects British society at large and maintains a distinctive presence as part of the modern-day Territorial Army.
		Since, by definition, the Yeomanry can have no single history, this balanced and sympathetic account shows how the essential spirit and activities of the Yeomanry as a volunteer military movement, have given it a character and prestige far more than the sum of its constituent regiments.
