Yeomanry Regiments are volunteer cavalry units that originated in the United Kingdom during the late 18th century. Initially formed to provide local defense and support to the regular army, these regiments were composed of gentlemen and landowners who could afford to maintain their own horses and equipment. Over time, they evolved into a part of the British Army, serving in various roles, including reconnaissance and support during conflicts. Today, Yeomanry Regiments continue to exist as part of the Army Reserve, contributing to both military operations and community engagement. They often participate in ceremonial duties and maintain a strong connection to their local areas, reflecting their historical roots in local defense and service.
