confederation on the region.\u00a0 The Boers protested and in Dec 1880 they revolted.\u00a0 In many battles the British found themselves outmanoeuvred and outperformed by the highly mobile and skilled Boer marksmen.\u00a0 The British government of William Gladstone signed a truce on 6 March, and in the final peace treaty on 23 March 1881, gave the Boers self-government in the South African Republic

to serve in the Second Boer War was agreed.\u00a0 Due to the string of defeats during &#8216;Black Week&#8217; in December 1899, the British government realised they were going to need more troops than just the Regular Army, thus issuing a Royal Warrant on 24th December 1899.\u00a0 This warrant officially created the <strong>Imperial Yeomanry (IY)<\/strong>.<\/p><p>The Royal Warrant asked standing Yeomanry regiments to provide service companies of approximately 115 men each.\u00a0 In addition to this, many British citizens (usually middle or upper class) volunteered to join the new regiments.\u00a0 The first contingent of recruits contained 550 officers, 10,371 men in 20 battalions of 4 companies each, which arrived in South Africa between February and April 1900.\u00a0 Upon arrival, the regiments were sent throughout the zone of operations.<\/p><p>The initial organisation of the IY was in the hands of a committee, headed by three prominent commanding officers of Yeomanry regiments \u2013 Lt Col Lucas (Loyal Suffolk Hussars), Lord Chesham (Royal Bucks Hussars), and the Queen\u2019s Own Oxfordshire Hussars commander, Lord Valentia.<\/p><p>There was great enthusiasm in the country for volunteering to go to South Africa.\u00a0 A high proportion of these were not in fact serving Yeomen, but new recruits who came forward because of the war.\u00a0 Horses were provided for those did not bring their own and for those who did, there was a payment of \u00a340.\u00a0 Daily pay for the men was to be 1s 3d (\u00a30.06 !)<\/p><p>It was never envisaged that complete regiments of Yeomanry would be able to serve as a unit; instead, those who volunteered from a regiment were formed into companies in larger units.\u00a0 In Oxfordshire Lord Valentia asked for 120 volunteers (a company), but those who responded formed two companies in separate battalions (the <strong>40<sup>th<\/sup> Coy of the 10<sup>th<\/sup> Bn<\/strong> and the <strong>59<sup>th<\/sup> Coy of the 15<sup>th<\/sup> Bn<\/strong>).\u00a0 He was prepared to accept former members of the regiment, as well as serving yeomen, also any suitable man not an ex-member.\u00a0 Many young men chose this option as a short-term break (for a year at the most) from the routine of respectable civilian jobs.<\/p><p>Among them was Sidney Peel, one of the new volunteers from Oxfordshire, who with telling insight, recorded the motives of his fellow recruits in the IY.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201c<em>Some came because they saw a chance of emigrating at government expense; some for love of sport and excitement; some because they were tired of their present occupation; some because they wanted a job; some because they wanted a medal, and some because others came.<\/em>\u201d<\/p><p>The Honourable Sidney Peel, barrister and fellow of Trinity College, was the 3rd son of Viscount Arthur Peel, formerly Speaker of the House of Commons.\u00a0 But his lack of previous military experience and his willingness to accept even so humble a position for the chance of the adventure, placed him in the ranks \u2013 Trooper 8008 ! \u00a0He was a member of the 40<sup>th<\/sup> Coy IY.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ffa7cdd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\"

Yeomanry&#8217;s first action was on 5th April 1900, when members of the 3rd and 10th Battalions fought Boer volunteers led by Frenchman Count de Villebois-Mareuil at Boshof.\u00a0 After a series of tactical errors, the Boers were subsequently surrounded.\u00a0 The Count was killed, and the Imperial Yeomanry was victorious, suffering only 3 casualties.\u00a0 One of these was Capt Cecil Boyle (<em>see below<\/em>).\u00a0 But the Boer would prove to be a much tougher and elusive enemy as they soon showed at Lindley later the next month.<\/p><p>Exact numbers of men raised into the Imperial Yeomanry are hard to determine, but were in excess of 30,000 men.\u00a0 Leo Amery&#8217;s &#8220;<em>The Times History of the War in South Africa<\/em>&#8221; commented that :-<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>Altogether 35,000 Imperial Yeomanry went to South Africa.\u00a0 Of this number probably at least 2,000 went out a second time and so have been counted twice over.\u00a0 On the other hand, after October 29, 1901, when it was made permissible, a certain number of enlistments for the Imperial Yeomanry took place in South Africa, while 833 officers and men were raised at home under Imperial Yeomanry conditions for a corps raised partly in South Africa and partly at home.<\/em><\/p><p>After the Second Boer War, the Imperial Yeomanry did not participate in any further conflicts and was officially disbanded in 1908.\u00a0 The individual companies of the IY returned to their British based Yeomanry regiments.\u00a0 The &#8216;Imperial Yeomanry&#8217; lineage was carried on by the Yeomanry regiments from which the IY companies were created and thus the IY companies earned the battle honour &#8220;<em>South Africa<\/em>&#8221; for their parent regiments.\u00a0 A large number of veterans returned to serve part-time in the Yeomanry at home and were called upon again into service in World War One.<\/p><p>As part of a general reorganisation of the entire home-based Yeomanry force in April 1901, the collective designation &#8216;Imperial Yeomanry&#8217; replaced that of &#8216;Yeomanry Cavalry&#8217;.\u00a0 This was in recognition of the performance of the IY companies during the war in South Africa.\u00a0 This distinction ceased in 1907-8, when further changes brought the 54 Yeomanry regiments then in existence, into the newly established Territorial Army, and the Imperial Yeomanry was officially terminated.<\/p><p>The 1903 report of His Majesty&#8217;s Commission on the war commented :-<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">&#8220;<em>On the whole, the Imperial Yeomanry seem to have done very good service in the war, but to have suffered from the mistake which was made in not organising a system of drafts to maintain the strength of the force, a mistake due, in no doubt like others, to the under-rating of the resisting power of the Boers, and the belief in the speedy termination of the war.\u00a0 If this system had been organised upon a county basis, a steady flow of selected men trained to ride and shoot at home, could have been maintained and the necessity avoided in sending out later, 17,000 untrained and unorganised men to receive their education in the face of the enemy<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
