In 2014 the Duke of Lancaster's Own Yeomanry Regimental Museum acquired folders compiled by Mr RJ Smith covering the periods 1899 to 1907 and 1908 to 1914. These folders have been digitised; the folder covering the period 1908 to 1914 is now presented here along with a few notes from Lieutenant Colonel John Tustin TD, a trustee of the museum.
The period 1899 to 1907 can be accessed and will open in a new window by clicking here.
