Is there not a distinction between Yeomanry Regiments being "dressed as lancers" and actually being equipped and trained in the use of the lance?

Yeomanry lancers
31.12.27. Army Order 392: Use of lance abolished, except for ceremonial use.
In my research into Bedfs Yeo and Lincs Yeo I don't recall having seen photos or lances being carried operationally, or indeed training done with the lance. Stephen.

G'day Guys
The East Riding certainly dressed as Lancers as a forum member has an East Riding Czapka, however I do not know whether they carried a lance or not. Although I'd think that if they had gone to the trouble of wearing a Regimental Czapka that they would also have carried a lance. Regards Phil.

The print, although from a 1909 publication appears to show a mid Victorian image. maybe they were Lancers back then, only guessing, I dont know really. regards

“Tent Pegging” seems somewhat mundane when compared to an item on eBay a few years ago. It was a winners trophy plaque (for I believe a cavalry regiment) entitled for “The cleaving of the Turks Head” Rather Politicaly incorrect today I would think. Nevertheless, an interesting item! D.J.

"A Sword Cutting Feat by Sgt. Instructor Haigh: He will cut a lemon on a man's head; also on a man's neck."
Sounds like chainsaw juggling - not much room for error, even in practice sessions!
