Sussex Yeomanry Association centenary dinner in pictures
More than 160 members and their guests attended this celebration with some travelling from as far afield as Germany, Dubai, Cyprus and South Africa. In some cases, people met friends they had not seen for more than 40 years.
At the end of the Great War, the officers and men voted to set up an old pals association. This met for the first time on January 20, 1919: named The Sussex Yeomanry Old Comrades Association.
