PanzerKaput's Illustrations
Yeomanry Officer
Day Eight of the journey into the World of 1938 A Very British Civil War and we are back to the Royalist forces again and the another regiment. At the outbreak of the war the Yeomanry regiments seeing themselves as the cream of the battlefield and rekindle the glory days of the cavalry and their dashing looks and image they have.
So on the Royalist sides mainly, but other factions too, the local and country yeomanry regiments they through away the camouflage, khaki uniform and stated to Dress Uniforms instead to mark them out, in their minds, of their elite elan. Not always the best idea in the age of modern warfare.
This fellow is an Captain from Warwickshire Yeomanry in his “Dress/Battledress” uniform. This bravo has led to them charging into combat at the first instance as their preferred method of operation which does attract the wilder, less sensible person to them and the predicable results.
