In the years before the Great War, the Regular Army was supplemented by volunteer units. In Suffolk, the Infantry volunteers were, from 1908, a formal part of the Suffolk Regiment, as its 4th, 5th and 6th Battalions. The Suffolk Cavalry volunteers, however, remained separate: they were the Duke of York's Own Loyal Suffolk Hussars, known popularly as the Suffolk Yeomanry. During the Great War they fought at Gallipoli, in Egypt and France; in January 1917 they were absorbed into the Suffolk Regiment for the duration of the war and fought as dismounted infantry as the regiment's 15th (Suffolk Yeomanry) Battalion (territorial forces).
