Pembroke
Yeomanry Cavalry (Castlemartin)
|
Of all the Yeomanry regiments, the Pembroke
is the one which fulfilled its original purpose, as it was involved
in the repulsing of an oddly attempted "invasion" of England
in 1797 - an altogether very strange affair in all respects. The related
battle honour, "Fishguard" was awarded quite later (in 1853),
and is the only battle honour conferred for fighting on British soil. |
