British Army
The British Army is the land warfare branch of Her Majesty's Armed Forces in the United Kingdom.

Yeomanry
Yeomanry is a designation used by a number of units or sub-units of the British Territorial Army, descended from volunteer cavalry regiments. Today, Yeomanry units may serve in a variety of different military roles.-History:...

, has frequently been the subject of amalgamations and absorptions in its history. The subject of precedence within the Yeomanry can sometimes be contentious with debates as to 'who is on the right of the line' quite commonplace when two or more cap badges are brought together.

Precedence is merely a reflection of the current convention regarding the order in which units parade within the British Army.

Precedence

The rule for establishing the order of precedence is the date of commission of the first troop of the regiment and its subsequent unbroken service, including both official service and unpaid accepted unpaid service. Disbanded regiments automatically lost precedence. To maintain the order of precedence when the Territorial Army was reorganised in 1969, some units established a cadre so that they were not completely disbanded. When the cadre-ised unit was subsequently re-established, the unit or more frequently as was the case, sub-unit, could continue to claim an un-broken service. Needless to say, like any good rule, the order of precedence has exceptions.
