Royal Mercian and Lancastrian Yeomanry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Royal Mercian and Lancastrian Yeomanry is an armoured regiment of the Territorial Army consisting of five squadrons, four of which bear the cap badge of an old yeomanry regiment:

  • HQ Squadron
  • A (Staffordshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire Yeomanry) Squadron
  • B (Shropshire Yeomanry) Squadron
  • C (Cheshire Yeomanry) Squadron
  • D (Duke of Lancaster's Own Yeomanry) Squadron

The Royal Mercian and Lancastrian Yeomanry is the only one of the four Yeomanry regiments to serve exclusively in the armoured replacement role, providing replacement crews for the Challenger 2 tank.
