Between The Wars
On the reforming of the Territorial Army, only the fourteen senior yeomanry regiments remained as horsed cavalry, with the remainder be re-roled as artillery. In 1921 the Buckinghamshire Yeomanry was amalgamated with the Berkshire Yeomanry and re-formed as the 99th (Bucks and Berks Yeomanry) Brigade, Royal Field Artillery. The two yeomanry regiments retained their own identities and badges within the amalgamated unit, with each providing two batteries. The Buckinghamshire Yeomanry comprised 393 and 394 (Royal Bucks Yeomanry) Batteries.
By 1939 it became clear that a new European war was likely to break out, and the doubling of the Territorial Army was authorised, with each unit forming a duplicate. The amalgamation of the Berkshire and Buckinghamshire Yeomanry was reversed, with each being reconstituted as separate field regiments of the Royal Artillery, with the Buckinghamshire contingent becoming the 99th Field Regiment.

Famous quotes containing the word wars:
“... the trouble is that most people in this country think that we can stay out of wars in other parts of the world. Even if we stay out of it and save our own skins, we cannot escape the conditions which will undoubtedly exist in other parts of the world and which will react against us.... We are all of us selfish ... and if we can save our own skins, the rest of the world can go. The best we can do is to realize nobody can save his own skin alone. We must all hang together.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
