	Yeomanry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In order to maximise the country's defences, a number of volunteer regiments were raised in many counties by yeomen.
		Today, in the modern Territorial Army, there are many former Yeomanry regiments serving in one form or another, usually as a squadron/battery that is part of a larger unit:
		Most of the old yeomanry regiments are perpetuated through a single unit, be it an armoured, engineers or signal squadron, or an artillery battery.

		As soon as he was able he was taught to shoot and ride, on foot or mounted, by the time he was fourteen, he was a first class shot, and an expert horseman being able to outflank his prey or enemy he excelled in the veldt.
		Horses died on an average of three months active service.The second reason for the enormous losses in horses, was the way in which the army columns were treated.
		This brings out an interesting stat, the combined number of horses used by mounted infantry and cavalry were at one stage 50,000, each arm used a minimum of four horses, artillary and others using them would bring a total of 500,000 that would be needed {350,000 would be imported} this target was easily reached.

		On 13 August 1917, Grant became commander of the 3rd Light Horse Brigade and was promoted to temporary brigadier general.

		Also, by this time, a few courses of instruction had been started at the larger military centres, and we had several officers and men trained at these courses in musketry and other branches who were then able to pass their information on to the rest of us.
		On 9th December we were relieved by the 2nd Scottish Horse and moved back into the support trenches, from which we sent a party back to the front line who reported very little firing from the Turks but that they seemed to be suffering from bad colds.
		We were all very sorry to see the demise of the Yeomanry and to close, though only temporarily, the records of a Regiment which had had an honourable career, and of which we were all so proud.

	Imperial Yeomanry
		The Yeomanry Cavalry came to the front during the Boer War and from a strength of 10,000 over 3,000 went to South Africa to form the Imperial Yeomanry and were used as mounted rifles.
		The Wiltshire Yeomanry have as their motto “Primus in armis,” signifying that they were the first local body of cavalry, chiefly drawn from the class of yeomanry, to be formed into a regiment.
		In 1835, when the precedence of Yeomanry regiments was established, the Royal Wiltshire was given Number 1, both because it was the first raised in 1793, and because it had preserved its continuity.

		Scottish Horse, Yeomanry, and Derbys pushed on, the young soldiers of the two former corps keeping pace with the veteran regiment.
		A covering party of East Lancashires and Yeomanry watched over the workers, but De Wet had left a portion of his force in that neighbourhood, and they harassed the blockhouse builders to such an extent that General Hamilton, who was in command, found it necessary to send in to Frankfort for support.
		This column consisted of four squadrons of the 4th Imperial Yeomanry, one gun of the 79th battery, and one pom-pom, the whole under the temporary command of Major Williams of the South Staffords, Colonel Firmin being absent.

		Birley later insisted that the troop's erratic behaviour was caused by the horses being afraid of the crowd.
		The Manchester Yeomanry, under Major Trafford, and the Cheshire Yeomanry under Lieutenant-Colonel Townsend, who had come on a very short notice from the county magistrates (many of them from a great distance) were most active and efficient in discharge of their duty.

		It is only fair to add that Colonel Spragge was acquitted of all blame by a court of inquiry, which agreed, however, that the surrender was premature, and attributed it to the unauthorised hoisting of a white flag upon one of the detached kopjes.
		So vigorous was the pursuit of the Yeomanry that the leading squadrons, consisting of South Notts Hussars and Sherwood Rangers, actually cut into the Boer convoy and might have rescued the prisoners had they been supported.
		For seven hours they lay helpless under the shell-fire, but their constancy was rewarded by the arrival of Colonel Brookfield with 300 Yeomanry and four guns of the 17th R.F.A., followed in the evening by a larger force from the south.

	The Great Boer War by Arthur Conan Doyle 34
		They had something to show, however, for the loss of their horses, since they had covered a circular march of 400 miles, had captured some hundreds of the enemy, and had broken up their last organised capital.
		The losses were almost entirely among the newly raised Yeomanry, who had already shown on several occasions that, having shed their weaker members and had some experience of the field, they were now worthy to take their place beside their veteran comrades.
		Though much hampered by the want of forage for their horses, the Boers were ever watchful for an opportunity to strike back, and the long list of minor successes gained by the British was occasionally interrupted by a petty reverse.

		However, George says he has many happy memories of his time serving with the Lothians & Border Horse and believes the name of the regiment should be commemorated somewhere in the city where it was born.

		Lord Lovat lobbied hard to ensure that the Lovat Scouts would not become just a memory of the Boer war and his persistence eventually paid off and he was allowed to raise two regiments of Yeomanry, consisting of 1000 men in total, and to be titled the 1st and 2nd Lovat Scouts.
		The Scouts and Scottish Horse were to become great friends and rivals and in the early days of these training camps some of the scouts thought that the objective of joining was to have the opportunity of 'attacking' these 'strangers from south of the Drumochter Pass!'
		The Northerners consisted of 2 regiments of Lovat Scouts, the Royal Scots Greys, the Fife and Forfar Yeomanry and a section of Royal Artillery, the Southerners consisted of 2 regiments of Scottish Horse, the 18th Hussars and another section of Royal Artillery.
