THE SUSSEX YEOMANRY

The Sussex Yeomanry is dedicated to preserving the proud heritage of the Yeomanry and its fellow comrades. Founded in 1794 in response to the threat of a French invasion during the Napoleonic Wars, it was reformed during the Second Boer War and served in both World War I and World War II, participating in the East African Campaign and the Siege of Tobruk. With a proud and long history of dedication, loyalty, and service to the country, the Sussex Yeomanry provides its members with a community of fellowship and support. Today, its legacy is carried on by 1 (Sussex Yeomanry) Field Troop, 579 Field Squadron (EOD), which is part of 101 (London) Engineer Regiment (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) (Volunteers).
