Cap Badge - The Fife and Forfar Yeomanry / Scottish Horse
Cap Badge - The Fife and Forfar Yeomanry (Scottish Horse)
On 1 November 1956 The Fife and Forfar Yeomanry/Scottish Horse was formed by the amalgamation of two Royal Armoured Corps Regiments: The Fife and Forfar Yeomanry (FFY) which traces it history back to 1793 and The Scottish Horse (SH) which is unique in that it was originally raised, not in Scotland, but in South Africa in 1900.
The FFY/SH received all its staff instructors, RSM and Adjutants from the 4th/7th Royal Dragoon Guards. The FFY/SH was the only armoured regiment in 51st (Highland) Division in this period and whilst not mobilised as a Regiment it did despatch some individuals as replacements on operational tours with the 4th/7th Royal Dragoon Guards during the Aden Emergency.
The Fife & Forfar Yeomanry/Scottish Horse (FFY/SH) is currently a Yeomanry Squadron of the Queen's Own Yeomanry part of the British Territorial Army. It was formed following the amalgamation of The Fife and Forfar Yeomanry and The Scottish Horse regiments.
