Yeomanry, a term that encompasses courage, resilience, and selflessness. It represents the brave men and women who served their country during times of war, leaving an indelible mark on history. One such group is the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry (FANY), whose unwavering dedication saved countless lives. In the midst of World War I, amidst chaos and uncertainty, The Evening Wireless captured a poignant moment at Komarjan Bridge. FANY members stood tall in their distinctive uniforms, ready to provide aid to those injured in battle. Their ambulances became beacons of hope amid the darkness of war. The charge of the mounted brigade at El-Mughar in 1917 showcased the yeomanry's fearlessness as they galloped into enemy lines with unwavering determination. However, not all encounters were victorious; running into a Teller Mine brought devastating consequences but did not deter their resolve. On the Struma Valley Front in Salonika during WWI, it was Surrey Yeomanry who valiantly fought against adversity. They faced off against Bulgarian forces during a perilous encounter aptly named "A brush with the Bulgar. " These scouts discovered enemies lurking nearby and swiftly alerted their comrades. Going into action on The Barraged Road atop Blaga Planina required nerves of steel. Tanks from both the 3rd and 4th Sharpshooter regiments rolled forward relentlessly despite danger lurking around every corner. Their bravery knew no bounds as they pushed through treacherous terrain towards victory. From Witley Station to Westbury, yeomen embarked on journeys that would shape their destinies forever. These moves symbolized transitions from one battleground to another—a testament to their adaptability and commitment to serving others. Kakaraska held witness to yet another display of heroism when scouts braved enemy fire while bringing back crucial reports during WWI's tumultuous times.
