The mounted Yeomanry brigade had been sent to guard the water pipeline and railway as they were being extended beyond the protection of the Suez Canal defences into the desert towards Romani.

The Auckland Mounted Rifles Regiment arrived with its brigade between 11: 00 and 11: 30 to find the Composite Yeomanry Regiment ( 5th Mounted Yeomanry Brigade ) in contact with the German and Ottoman forces on the south-west side of Mount Royston.

The day after El Arish was occupied, on 22 December, the leading infantry brigade of the 52nd ( Lowland ) Division reached the town and, together with the 5th Mounted Yeomanry Brigade, garrisoned the town and began fortifying the area.

In January 1916 the brigade was renamed the 8th Mounted Brigade and moved to the Yeomanry Mounted Division.

One infantry brigade of 74th ( Yeomanry ) Division and Nos 11 and 12 Armoured Motor Batteries remained directly under the command of Dobell.

After Dunkirk, the Sussex Yeomanry moved into the village, being replaced in turn by the Royal Army Ordnance Corps, Royal Artillery, Royal Marines and the Pioneer Corps.

Chaytor then moved the Auckland and Canterbury Mounted Rifles Regiments, supported by the Somerset Battery, onto high ground between the right of the light horse and the Yeomanry, which was shortly afterwards joined by the remainder of the 5th Mounted Brigade under the command of Brigadier General Wiggin.

At 19: 30, when the New Zealand Mounted Rifle and 5th Mounted Yeomanry Brigades moved from the positions they had won to water and rest at Pelusium, the area was consolidated by infantry in the 127th ( Manchester ) Brigade, 42nd Division.

The New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade had moved out at dawn, followed by the 5th Yeomanry Brigade without ambulance support, as the New Zealand Field Ambulance had not returned from Romani and the 5th Mounted Field Ambulance had not yet arrived.

While the 1st Light Horse and the New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigades rode to a position from which to attack from the south, east and north, the 5th Mounted Yeomanry Brigade moved off by the same route as the Anzac Mounted Division and Imperial Camel Corps Brigade.

This relief was not completed until after 18: 30 when the 5th Mounted Yeomanry Brigade moved north.

The 3rd Light Horse Brigade moved back quickly and seized a high hill north west of Hill 405 enabling the 6th Mounted Yeomanry Brigade to hold on where they were.

Peel was appointed a deputy lieutenat of Bedfordshire and lieutenant-colonel of the Bedfordshire Yeomanry in 1912, and on the outbreak of the First World War moved to France with his regiment.

A year later he moved to Fort Beaufort, Eastern Cape to settle, but decided instead to join the 1st Regiment, Cape Mounted Yeomanry as a surgeon.

This lasted for 25 years until 1992 when the Sherwood Rangers were moved to become B Squadron of the Queen's Own Yeomanry, where they operated as recce for the ACE Rapid Reaction Corps, during which period sabre troops were re-equipped with CVR ( T ) Scimitar and Sabre. The squadron rejoined the Royal Yeomanry as Challenger 2 reserves in 1999 and converted to the formation CBRN reconnaissance role in 2006.

On their right, with a gap of, was the 3rd Light Horse Brigade, which was in touch with a small flying column ; the Mobile Column of the City of London Yeomanry, 11th Light Horse Regiments and the Imperial Camel Corps Brigade, which was to again attempt to get round the German and Ottoman left flank and cut off their retreat.

* The Ayrshire ( Earl of Carrick's Own ) Yeomanry, a British Yeomanry Cavalry Regiment, formed by The Earl of Cassillis at Culzean Castle, Ayrshire in 1794, is adopted onto the British Army List.

From late May 1900, the first successes of the Boer strategy were at Lindley ( where 500 Yeomanry surrendered ), and at Heilbron ( where a large convoy and its escort were captured ) and other skirmishes resulting in 1, 500 British casualties in less than ten days.

Robert Hay Drummond, a native of Perthshire, and commanding officer of the Perthshire Gentlemen and Yeomanry Cavalry, was also Lord Lyon King of Arms at the time, and he presented the arms to the county in 1800.

The City of London Yeomanry ( COLY ) also had its headquarters in nearby Finsbury Square when founded at the time of the Second Boer War.

1831 saw Phillpotts as the victim of the Guy Fawkes Night custom of burning effigies of clergymen ; knowing his reputation he took action by requesting protection, thus the 7th Yeomanry Cavalry filled the palace at Exeter, whilst the crowd in the cathedral yard burned Phillpotts in effigy ; ".... hollow turnip as head and candle as nose, clad in mitre and lawn sleeves ..." ( Chadwick I, 1997, p 29 )

The killing shots have long been thought to have come from a Sherman Firefly of ‘ 3 Troop ’, A Squadron, 1st Northamptonshire Yeomanry ( commander-Sergeant Gordon ; gunner-Trooper Joe Ekins ), which was positioned in a wood called Delle de la Roque on the advancing Tigers ' right flank at approximately 12: 47.

Ken Tout, who at the time of Operation Totalize, was a member of " C Squadron " of the 1st Northamptonshire Yeomanry, published a postwar account of the battle and of Wittmann ’ s demise.

In this book, for the first time, he does not claim Wittmann for the 1st Northamptonshire Yeomanry and acknowledges that other regiments were in the area at the time and had engaged the attacking Tigers.

The Brigade travelled by night and at dawn on 9 October the Ayrshire Yeomanry, who were in the vanguard, disturbed a Boer encampment.

Benn was commissioned as a Lieutenant in the London Yeomanry in 1915 ( later promoted to temporary Captain ) and served with the Royal Naval Air Service during the First World War, seeing service at Gallipoli.

On 1 February 1941 he passed out from Sandhurst, the British Army officer training academy, and was posted to the Second Derbyshire Yeomanry at Ripon.

Also after his return he rejoined the North Shropshire Yeomanry at his previous rank, before being promoted major in 1822, after a vain attempt to lobby its colonel for an even higher rank in the place of an uncle, William Owen, who had left the regiment.

Haldane's reforms also created the Territorial Force of 14 divisions ( the original plan was for 28 ) and 14 mounted Yeomanry brigades at home, the Officer Training Corps and the Special Reserve.

German General Friedrich Freiherr Kress von Kressenstein's raiding force retaliated to this growing British presence, by attacking the widely dispersed 5th Mounted Brigade on 23 April, Easter Sunday and also St George's Day, when Yeomanry were surprised and overwhelmed at Katia and Oghratina east of Romani.

* at Hill 70, from Romani, the New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade ( less the Wellington Mounted Rifles Regiment, but with the 2nd Light Horse Brigade's 5th Light Horse Regiment, temporarily attached ), commanded by Edward Chaytor, and the 5th Mounted Yeomanry Brigade, under the direct command of Lawrence, were joined on the railway by infantry in the 126th ( East Lancashire ) Brigade ( 42nd Division ).

He recognised that the main blow was falling on Romani and ordered the 5th Mounted Yeomanry Brigade at Hill 70 to move towards Mount Royston.

The Yeomanry and New Zealand brigades had both been stationed at Hill 70, from Romani, when their orders to move were received.

At 10: 30, the general mounted advance began and by midday, was on a line from west of Bir Nagid to south of Katib Gannit ; in the centre the New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade were approaching the south-west edge of the Katia oasis ; on their left the 1st, the 2nd Light Horse, the 5th Mounted Yeomanry Brigades and infantry in the 52nd ( Lowland ) Division were attacking Abu Hamra, to the north of the old caravan road, while the 3rd Light Horse Brigade was away to the New Zealander's right, south of the old caravan road, attacking German and Ottoman units at Bir el Hamisah.

By 15: 30, the New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade and the 1st and 2nd Light Horse Brigades were advancing at the gallop on Katia, with the Yeomanry on the far left.

The first column consisting of the New Zealand Mounted Rifles and 22nd Mounted Yeomanry Brigades marched up the beach from Bir Abu Shunnar at 02: 30 and went out in front to establish a line just south of the Wadi Ghuzzeh.

Their mounted charge succeeded after a coordinated attack by the British Infantry and Yeomanry cavalry and the Australian and New Zealand Light Horse and Mounted Rifles brigades.

Many British troops were therefore redeployed out of the area, and had been replaced by lower-quality contingents of Imperial Yeomanry and locally raised irregular corps.

He was seconded to the Imperial Yeomanry, becoming a lieutenant and then a captain, was taken prisoner in May 1900, but released by the Boers because of a perforated eardrum.

A group of seven Tiger tanks from the Heavy SS-Panzer Battalion 101, supported by several other tanks, was ambushed by tanks from A Squadron, 1st Northamptonshire Yeomanry, A Squadron, the Sherbrooke Fuisilier Regiment, and B Squadron, the 144 Royal Armoured Corps.

In 1789, by the Förenings-och Säkerhets Acten ( English: Act of Union and Security ), an amendment charter to the constitution, the exclusive right of the nobility to high offices was abolished and the Estates of the Burghers and the Peasantry ( Yeomanry ) also received these privileges-a step towards modern democracy.

As a result, she was enrolled in Special Forces of the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry ( FANY ) and trained by Colonel Maurice Buckmaster's Special Operations Executive to be sent into Nazi-occupied France to work with the French underground.

The force consisted of the Patea and Wanganui Rangers, Taranaki Military Settlers, Wanganui Yeomanry Cavalry and kupapa Māori and was commanded by Major Thomas McDonnell, an able but ruthless commander.

In 1973 he entered Sandhurst and subsequently commanded the North Irish Horse, The Cheshire Yeomanry Squadron, founded by his ancestors, and The Queen's Own Yeomanry.

The contribution of reservists to the deployment ( some 9, 500 of the 46, 000 personnel involved in the warfighting phase and its immediate aftermath, the vast majority from the Territorial Army, and in significant number in the subsequent roulements ) is understated by the order of battle, as the only units to deploy in their entirety were 202 Field Hospital ( with augmentees from the other TAVR Field Hospitals ), 131 Independent Commando Squadron of the Royal Engineers as well as A ( Royal Wiltshire Yeomanry ) Squadron and W ( Westminster Dragoons ) Squadron of the Royal Yeomanry.

That tradition continues to this very day, in that 10 Stone Buildings in Lincoln's Inn has been the permanent home of the Inns of Court & City Yeomanry since the building was freed up by the abolition of the Clerks of Chancery in 1842.

The Territorial Army was created in 1908 by the Secretary of State for War, Richard Haldane, when the Territorial and Reserve Forces Act 1907 combined the previously civilian-administered Volunteer Force, with the Militia and Yeomanry.

Yeomanry is a designation used by a number of units or sub-units of the British Territorial Army, descended from volunteer cavalry regiments.

At daylight, their line was reinforced by the 2nd Light Horse Brigade, and about mid morning, the 5th Mounted Yeomanry Brigade and the New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade joined the battle.
