A book titled "One Hundred Lives - The East Riding Yeomanry in the Great War" by Dr. David Marchant, to accompany the excellent exhibition in the Treasure House in Beverley (which I think finishes this month), is £5 very well spent. The men served in Egypt/Palestine with the 1/1st ERY and subsequently with the MGC on the western front. Photographs accompany the brief biographies of each of these men and answer most questions concerning dress between 1910 through to 1920. Bill
