The Regimental Collect

Almighty God, in whom we put our trust,

grant us your servants of the Duke of Lancaster's Own

Yeomanry the gifts of courage and skill, endurance and

comradeship. These we dedicate in the service of our

Sovereign and Country, and pray your blessings upon all our

endeavours, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

You are entering the online archives of The Duke of Lancaster's Own Yeomanry 

This is a compilation of material gathered from personal collections, regimental and squadron sources and from the Museum of Lancashire. The material has been selected, processed and posted by Lieutenant Colonel John Tustin TD (webmaster).

A special thank you is extended to all those who have provided material especially Captain Jimmy Aspinall, PSAO DLOY Squadron, Wigan and Dr Stephen Bull of the Museum of Lancashire, Preston.

Anyone with material to offer for inclusion on the website is asked to contact the webmaster ( dloyeomanry@gmail.com ).

Anyone wishing to donate items to the Regimental Museum is asked to contact the webmaster for the present as the museum is currently closed. Hopefully, "the museum issue" will be positively resolved in 2022, and more guidance will be published here.
