Richardbrown77 Posted 29 July , 2009 Share Posted 29 July , 2009 Hi All, I am having absolutley no luck in finding what happened to the Lancashire Hussars Yeomanry apart from the following which appears to be the only thing on them The 1/1st was formed in Liverpool , in August 1914 and attachjed to the Welsh Border Mounted Brigade[3] In 1915 the Regiment was split up with RHQ and B Squadron joining the 31st Division , after moving to France it was briefley attached to the 2nd Indian Cavalry Division. The rest of the Regiment was attached to 35th Division , (C Squadron) and 30th Division ,(D Squadron).[3] The Regiment was reformed in May 1916 to form the VIII Corps Cavalry Regiment.[3] Then in July 1917 , the Regiment was dismounted and dispatched for training as infantry which was completed in September 1917 ,when the men joined a battalion of the King's, which was redesignated 18th (Lancashire Hussars Yeomanry) Battalion , the King's (Liverpool) Regiment. I see they became the 'VIII corps Cavalry Regiment' but cannot find one word on them. I am interested in exactly where they were in France and what sort of role they played as I struggle to see what role cavalry where in such a static war. They were not dismounted until 1917 which implies to me they were still a mounted unit until then? HELP!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Lees Posted 29 July , 2009 Share Posted 29 July , 2009 The War Diairies will contain all of the information you seek. However, they may be accessible only at the National Archives, Kew, London. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbrydon Posted 29 July , 2009 Share Posted 29 July , 2009 I have a number of sources regarding the Lancashire Hussars but most of them are pre 1914. I do have a nominal role of the LH ( cant remember where it came from ) but it is about 30 pages long- I am attaching a scan of one page. Happy to look up any men ( or officers ) members might be interested in. P.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Wilson Posted 29 July , 2009 Share Posted 29 July , 2009 I hope this works - the answer you are looking for is contained in the publication British Cavaly and Yeomanry 1914-18 compiled by Brigadier E.A.James - I have a revised edition here published in 1970.

Richardbrown77 Posted 29 July , 2009 Author Share Posted 29 July , 2009 Good information, thank you all. Anyone have any idea where I can buy 'British Regiments 1914-18' by Brig E A James? I googled it and nothing really came up. I am now living in Boston, USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Wilson Posted 29 July , 2009 Share Posted 29 July , 2009 This may work on the other hand it may not. I have just been in www.abebooks.co.uk - the search engine for books and can find no copy currently for sale. I have tried to export a scanned image of the relevant page - if this does not work - then please provide your email address and I will send the relevant page to you.

Hi Philip, Is the page you are refering to the one from British Cavalry and Yeomanry 1914-18 by Brigadier E.A.James? I have the one that states basically what I put in my first post. Is the one you talk about another one? My problem is, I know nothing of them after they were the VIII Corps cavalry regt. That would be wonderful if you could email that to me.

pbrydon Posted 30 July , 2009 Share Posted 30 July , 2009 Andy, I am sorry I cannot find your man. I hope that the letter from a long serving member of the unit might be legible and provide some further information about the unit before and during WW1.

Northern Soul Posted 30 July , 2009 Share Posted 30 July , 2009 Thanks for looking anyway. I know he was serving in 1912 (I think in A Company). I have a series of photos of them at Camp that year if you are interested (Denbigh?) although I don't have them with me to-day. Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iggy Posted 19 September , 2013 Share Posted 19 September , 2013 Hi, I have the TFWM and BWM to 899 PTE Harry Bryers, Lancashire Hussars / 250241 PTE Harry Bryers 7 Hussars and Corp of Hussars. Is it possible for someone to have a look at the Nom Roll of the Lancashire Hussars and confirm which Company and any other available info there is on him. He migrated to Australia and I am in the process of confirming his WWII service, here. Many Thanks Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigronhartley Posted 19 September , 2013 Share Posted 19 September , 2013 Hello PB I have a trio of medals to Frank Calland GLOVER who was commissioned into the West Riding Regiment and served post war with the Lancashire Fusiliers (TF). I would be most grateful if you could please see if he appears on your roll. Thanks. Regards Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbrydon Posted 19 September , 2013 Share Posted 19 September , 2013 Ron, Here he is in D squadron, transferred to 18th ( Lancashire Hussars ) Bn, Kings Liverpool Regiment on 28/9/17 P.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigronhartley Posted 19 September , 2013 Share Posted 19 September , 2013 Hello PB Thanks very much for looking, but I don't think that is him. F C Glover was an Officer with the West Riding Regiment sometime in 1915/1916. Is there another Glover listed ? Thanks again for your help.

clive_hughes Posted 19 September , 2013 Share Posted 19 September , 2013 Hello PB, Is there mention on your roll of 932 Leslie Williamson Vernon? He was either pre-war or very early War enough to earn the Territorial Force War Medal , and his service papers survive showing his transfer to the 18th King's Liverpool in 1917 and Tank Corps in 1918. Secondly, would you like a photo of the memorial in St.Asaph Cathedral to Major H.L. Bibby Lan. Hrs., OC "A" Sqn. Egypt 1914-16 who was drowned in the loss of the troopship Transylvania 4 May 1917? If so, just send me a PM with an email address. Curiously, in the mid-1970s in my home town of Bangor I saw in an antique shop an inkwell made out of the hoof of one of his chargers! It was too expensive and offbeat for me as a student to buy, but it must be out there somewhere! Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clive_hughes Posted 19 September , 2013 Share Posted 19 September , 2013 Thanks for that PB! He was the father of a distant relative of mine and at one time I was given his BWM/VIC pair (no sign of TFWM). Years later, she asked for them back so as to pass them on to her son, so I couldn't refuse. Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
