Yeomanry Cavalry Early
Yeomanry (territorial volunteer cavalry) uniforms is not as well a covered field
as the regular army - but the
good news are that most uniforms are quite distinctive. Most Yeomanry
uniforms display white / silver lace, as opposed to the yellow / gold of
the regulars (though there were, of course, exceptions to a rule that
could never be fully enforced). |

A
Beautiful Collection of Period Photographs from "Soldiers of the
Queen". |
Military history and uniformology ; great reference with lots of scholarly commented pictures. I bookmarked the "Armed Forces" pages but there's more to the website. |
The unequalled reference for everything "British Regiment" ; not very graphic, but the greatest wealth of resources. |
