The Royal Maylor Yeomanry Cavalry
1803
Research by the late Robert Smith
The Royal Maylor Yeomanry was formed in 1803 by Sir Richard
Puleston in the 100 of Maylor which is a detached portion of the
country of Flint in the year 1803. The Royal Maylor were
disbanded in 1828 but then reformed in 1830 and finally
disbanded in 1837.
The Royal Maylor Yeomanry were part of
what was known as the Maylor Legion, which consisted of four
Troops of Cavalry and several Rifle companies. The uniform
buttons are R.M.C and not R.M.Y. That is because the Royal
Maylor Yeomanry were the cavalry contingent of the Legion. |
