Loyal
Suffolk Hussars
|
This force claims to have been raised in 1793, but its official
date is 1831, as most of the troops of Suffolk Yeomanry seem to
have disappeared in 1828. The title "Loyal Suffolk
Yeomanry" was granted in 1883 (superseding its former
name,"The
West Suffolk") in memory of the parent troop raised in 1831
at Bury St.Edmunds. The corps bore the title until 1868, when it
was amalgamated with the Long Melford troops. This was the only
yeomanry corps to bear the title "Loyal" officially by
Gazette. The full dress uniform is green with gold lace. |
