stu Posted 3 June , 2004 Share Posted 3 June , 2004 Can anyone please tell me if a nominal roll exists of the Warwickshire Yeomanry who took part in this famous charge,I trying to establish if a Pte R A Searing was there. Many thanks. Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BeesleSR Posted 30 July , 2004 Share Posted 30 July , 2004 I too am interested to know how involved the Warwickshire Yeomanry were in this charge. I have the impression they were present but I suspect they did not take part in the charge. How close to the 'action' were they? What was their role on that day?

Robert Dunlop Posted 30 July , 2004 Share Posted 30 July , 2004 This from the Marquess of Anglesey's account of the action at Huj: 'The Worcesters' medical officer remembered Wiggin giving the order to mount and calling out, "Now then boys, for the guns!" [real Boy's Own stuff]. The Worcesters led the way: Major MC Albright's 'A' Squadron of the Worcesters, followed by two troops of 'C' Squadron under Second-Lieutenant JW Edwards. Bringing up the rear was Captain R Valentine's 'B' Squadron of the Warwicks, followed by two troops of 'C' Squadron.' Hope this is helpful.

brindlerp Posted 1 August , 2004 Share Posted 1 August , 2004 I wondered where Huj was, found this map (from http://www.dean.usma.edu/history/web03/atl...las%20home.htm), can't help otherwise. Regards Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry_Reeves Posted 1 August , 2004 Share Posted 1 August , 2004 The Warwickshire Yeomanry Museum has one of the guns captured at Huj and has wealth of information about individulas. They can be contacted at: The Courthouse Jury St Warwick Tel 01926 492212 Terry Reeves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Foster Posted 4 August , 2004 Share Posted 4 August , 2004 I have today searched Adderley`s History of the warks Yeomanry in the Great war and there is a roll for the charge. However pte searing is not mentioned, nor can I find his name in any of the other lists in the book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
