A telegram In March 1900 from Cape Town reports that the Leicestershire Yeomanry, an esteemed cavalry unit, is en route to the frontlines. Notably, the regiment includes numerous gentlemen hailing from Limerick, a testament to the city’s contribution to military efforts. As the Leicestershire Yeomanry embarks on their mission, the people of Limerick await news of their involvement, eagerly supporting the brave men who represent their city in the time of conflict.
