Description

A personal account of all ranks of the Yeomanry regiment, by a soldier who served in Sinai, Palestine and Syria. The Yeomanry regiments were originally raised in 1794, as a part of the volunteer forces, it was administered by the Home Office until 1855 when the War Office took over. The Yeomanry is most part consisted of the ‘Yeoman of England, with noblemen and gentlemen as officers’. Wilson often touches upon the daunting conditions which were the ever-present background to the campaigns in which he took part. A likeable and remarkable character of the old yeoman class, his letters and correspondence notes the elation, dejection, of tedium and anxiety of desert warfare.
