B Squadron The Royal Yeomanry

B Squadron The Royal Yeomanry Information about the Soldiers by the Soldiers. The unofficial page for B (SWWY) Squadron, "The Black Country Cavalry".

B (SWWY) Squadron The Royal Yeomanry has a long tradition back to 1794 of local people serving as army reserve soldiers. This page will inform everyone about what the unit gets up to for general information and recruiting. As the title suggests the Sqn is made up of 3 former county Regiments, the Staffordshire Yeomanry, the Warwickshire Yeomanry and the Worcestershire Yeomanry, who have a pedigree

of serving during the Boer War, the First World War, the Second World War which has been followed up more recently in Iraq and Afghanistan by current day soldiers. We train at the Dudley Army Reserve Centre on Wednesday evenings from 19:00 to 21:00 hrs. If you are interested in joining please come and say hello!

Our Dudley based B Squadron said a heartfelt farewell to a Black Country legend last night, after joining in 1989 for 36 years of dedicated and loyal service Squadron Leader Maj J ‘Rick’ Astley hand the the reins of command (and keys) over to Maj MH.

This will not be the last we see of Rick as he assumes a new role within our Brigade and also has been selected to serve Dudley as a Deputy Lord Lieutenant and will continue to support the Squadron and Community in the Black Country!

We all would like to wish him the best in his new roles and look forward to seeing what the future holds! And we also wish a very warm welcome to Maj MH and all the very best for his future at B Squadron!
