The Bedfordshire Yeomanry was a Yeomanry regiment of the British Army. Serving intermittently between 1797 and 1827, it was re-raised in 1901 for the Second Boer War. During WW1 it operated as a field artillery regiment and its lineage was maintained by 201 (Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire) Battery, 100th (Yeomanry) Regiment Royal Artillery until that unit was placed in suspended animation in 2014
