War Memorials
The Inns of Court City Yeomanry, continue to visit and in some cases maintain three war memorials, which contain the names of those that fell in the two great wars. The memorials are dispersed over London and the Home counties, in places linked to the fore fathers of the current Squadron. Each year the Squadron as a whole parades at the Lincolns Inn Memorial on Remembrance Sunday. The Squadron do parade at other memorials, and send smaller detachments for remembrance parades.
Wreaths are laid annually at each of the three war memorials that remember the fallen in the two World Wars in which the Inns of Court Regiment (the Devil's Own) or the City of London Yeomanry Regiment (The Rough Riders) fought.
Lincoln's Inn - War Memorial and Brewster Gate - IC&CY Regiment
St Bartholomew the Great church - War Memorial and Roll of Honour City of London Yeomanry Regiment
Berkhamsted - War Memorial and Training Trenches - Inns of Court Regiment Officer Training Corps 1914-18
There is also a memorial to the Rough Riders killed in the Boer War at Waltham Abbey.
Note: Not one of those listed came from Waltham Abbey. But their commander Sir Richard Beale Colvin did. He was a local benefactor to the church and went on to become a Brigadier General and Lord Lieutenant of Essex. He died in 1936.
