The wealth and status of these men comes through in their regalia. Apart from splendid pieces such as the Mess dress, they also sunk money into the dressing and equipping of the Regiment itself. This helped them not only keep up with military fashions, but also out-do other Yeomanry units. For example, the Earl of Plymouth raised a troop of over 20 men armed with two three-pounder cannons, and maintained them, all out of his own pocket. When the guns became obsolete, they were retired to graceful spots either side of the front door of his mansion at Hewell Park, and he brought new ones to replace them.
