The volunteer Yeomanry cavalry units were originally formed in the 1790s as a response to the invasion threat from Revolutionary France. However, they were also used to support the civil authority to put down political and social disturbances. This continued until the mid-19th century when police forces took over this role.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an unidentified Welsh Yeomanry helmet from the 1830-1840 period. Crafted with meticulous detail, this metal helmet is a testament to the rich history of volunteer cavalry units in Wales during that era. Originally established as a response to the threat of invasion from Revolutionary France in the late 18th century, these Yeomanry units played a crucial role in maintaining peace and order within their communities. Not only were they tasked with defending against external threats, but they also supported civil authorities in quelling political and social disturbances. As time progressed and police forces took on more responsibility for maintaining law and order, the focus of the yeomanry shifted towards local defense efforts. This transition marked a significant turning point for these dedicated volunteers. The intricate design of this helmet reflects both its functional purpose and symbolic significance. It serves as a reminder of the bravery and commitment displayed by those who wore it proudly while serving their country. Preserved at the National Army Museum in London, this remarkable artifact offers us a glimpse into Welsh history during an era defined by change and uncertainty. Its presence evokes curiosity about the stories behind those who once donned it, leaving us captivated by their legacy that lives on through this timeless piece of art.
