Inns Of Court And City Yeomanry
The Inns of Court & City Yeomanry is the modern incarnation of one of London's oldest military institutions, with the earliest surviving accounts of a militia from the Inns dating back to the Peasants' Revolt in 1381. Today the organisation is arranged into four active but united parts:
- The Signal Squadron
- The Royal Yeomanry Band
- The Army Cadet Force Squadron
- The detached IC&CY Officership
The largest, the Signal Squadron, acts as a Close Support Squadron within 71st (City of London) Yeomanry Signal Regiment (Volunteers), itself a key part of the Royal Corps of Signals within the British Territorial Army (TA).

Famous quotes containing the words court and/or city:
““But such as you and I do not seem old
Like men who live by habit. Every day
I ride with falcon to the river’s edge
Or carry the ringed mail upon my back,
Or court a woman; neither enemy,
Game-bird, nor woman does the same thing twice....””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“No one would know except for ancient maps
That such a brook ran water. But I wonder
If from its being kept forever under,
The thoughts may not have risen that so keep
This new-built city from both work and sleep.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
