DEPARTURE OF YEOMANRY.
Captains Angus and Milbank, and Lieutenants Holme and Fuller, left Aldershot on Saturday morning with 220 Yeomen for the front. They were mainly men from Lanarkshire, Ayr, the Queen's Own, and Duke of Lancaster's Own Yeomanry. The band of the 4th Royal Northern Reserve Regiment played them to the station and stayed to give them "Auld Lang Syne" as the train steamed away for Southampton. The total of the new enlistment who have left Aldershot up to date is 2,500. Another batch of 660, with six officers, left on Monday.
