The Westmorland and Cumberland Yeomanry was a Yeomanry Cavalry Regiment of the British Army that was formed in 1828. The regiment was part of the Imperial Yeomanry during the Boer War and would remain in Great Britain for the first years of the Great War. In 1917, the regiment sailed to France, to fight in the trenches as dismounted troops. They were converted to an artillery unit in 1920 and remained as gunners until 1967 when, after many amalgamations, the title disappeared.
