The Leicestershire Yeomanry had a long and close
association with the 7th Hussars. Captain D P Tolamache of the
7th Hussars (7th Cav Brigade Major) led the final charge of the
LY at Frezenberg in 1915 ..... shouting as he led:
"Come on Men, I am not afraid to go into action with brave fellows
like you!"
The LY and the 7th suffered
the same fate in 1957, both chosen for amalgamation under the
changes within the regular and reserve army. |
