The British Yeomanry - a forerunner of today''s Territorial Army - provided a sort of volunteer reserve militia to the regular Army. The object of this volume of abridged regulations for the formation and movements of the Yeomanry Corps, published in 1844, was to make the part-time Yeomanry officer corps conversant with the latest movements and manoevres as executed by their regular Army cousins. The book covers such subjects as foot drill, duties of sentries, conduct of funerals, miIitary horsemanship, Carbine exercises (on horseback and on foot); pistol and sword exercises; saluting. This book will delight anyone keen on the Victorian Army and its volunteer reserve.
