Yorkshire Volunteers

The Yorkshire Volunteers was an infantry regiment of the British Territorial Army.

Following the formation of the Leeds company, the five parent units were reduced to cadre strength and administered by the new regiment.

[2] Two years later the 2nd and 3rd Battalions were raised by the five infantry cadres and the three Yorkshire based TA Royal Artillery regiments.

[1] The 1990 defence review, Options for Change, decided to reintroduce the relationship between the TA battalions and the regular army regiments.

[1] The disbandment ceremony took place in the presence of the Duchess of Kent, the Honorary Colonel of the Regiment, at Somme Barracks in Catterick on 25 April 1993.
