Talk:Provisional Cavalry

Additional info
briefly mentions the Provisional Cavalry. "Only six regiments of provisional cavalry were actually embodied, that of Worcestershire alone serving in Ireland. But the army required no more cavalry and those units not embodied were absorbed into county yeomanries where their lower social status led to frequent ostracism. By March 1800 all trace of the provisional cavalry had disappeared with the disbanding of remaining embodied regiments." Factotem (talk) 09:30, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that Factotem, very useful. I have incorporated this into the article - Dumelow (talk) 10:46, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
 * NP. I edited it slightly to make the distinction between embodied units (those that were actually called out) and units that were raised (but not called out), and to avoid any confusion with the entirely different Worcestershire Regiment. I'm not 100% certain about the dates of disbandment; from my reading, all individual units had been absorbed into the Yeomanry by 1800, but the force still existed on paper until 1802.

 * Thanks for clarifying this in the article. It is not an area I consider myself very familiar with - Dumelow (talk) 11:49, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
