10th (Royal East Kent and West Kent Yeomanry) Bn
The Buffs 1918
The heavy casualties on the Western Front led to the posting of infantry divisions, including the 74th Division, to France in May 1918.
By the end of July the Kent Yeomanry Battalion were in action in the Merville area.
At the beginning of September, they moved to the Somme and took part first in the advance on the Hindenburg Line and then, further north, in the final advance which led to the armistice of 11th November 1918.
The Kent Yeomanry lost 152 men killed in action and died of disease in Palestine and France.
