When London needed yeomanry, police, militia or regiments to suppress the United Irishmen, the Fenians or the IRA, Orangemen were there. |
Revolution was not to be encouraged, though, and the yeomanry turned protest into a bloodbath at Peterloo. |
By 1901 there were 230,000 volunteers, augmented by the Royal Navy and Royal Artillery Volunteers, the militia and the yeomanry. |
The volunteer forces, especially the yeomanry, had been politically dependable. |
It was a yeomanry regiment, I think perhaps the Warwickshires. |
The yeomanry arrive, Gerard is killed, Lord Marney stoned to death by rioters, Morley shot, and the castle burned down. |
