Mike,

I only remembered our discussion on Sunday earlier today and had a look in the Cheshire Yeomanry history.

I find it amazing that men who had earlier been senior ( and sometimes decorated ) officers were prepared to serve in a very junior capacity when required. Compare that with todays instant celebrity mentality !

Rather reminiscent of the Home Guard when former senior officers joined as other ranks.

Peter
