	Middlesex Yeomanry - History
		After the death of the King in 1837 the regiment was frequently called upon to escort Queen Victoria through Middlesex on her way to Windsor, and on reaching the county boundary the Escort would hand over to a detachment of the Royal Horse Guards to escort her to the Castle.
		It was the Yeomanry Regiments of this Division, which were used as detached regiments and brigades on the Egyptian, Gallipoli and Salonica fronts and with the Desert Column under General Allenby, took part in the advance from the Suez Canal culminating in the Battles of Gaza in 1917.
		The regiment was re-formed in 1947 and became the 16th Airborne Divisional Signals (Middlesex Yeomanry) T,A., and continued as such until the T,A, Airborne Division was reduced to a Parachute Brigade Group in 1956.

		On the night of October 3rd, the 7th Middlesex was relieved by the 8th Middlesex, and went back for a short rest to Trones Wood, in order that it might be ready to attack on the 5th.
		The 56th Division, which was still on the extreme flank of the British line, having next to it, by a curious coincidence, the 56th French Division, intended to attack with the 168th Brigade on the right, the 167th on the left, and the 169th in reserve.
		But in spite of the hard conditions that prevailed, the fighting spirit of the 7th Middlesex had never stood higher, and all ranks were sternly resolved to avenge the loss of their comrades who had fallen so gallantly in the disastrous fight in Bordeaux Wood.
