Pembroke
Yeomanry Cavalry (Castlemartin)
Of all the Yeomanry regiments, the Pembroke
is the one which fulfilled its original purpose, as it was involved
in the repulsing of an oddly attempted "invasion" of England
in 1797 - an altogether very strange affair in all respects. The related
battle honour, "Fishguard" was awarded quite later (in 1853),
and is the only battle honour conferred for fighting on British soil. |
