Westminster Dragoons, Military unit in Westminster, United Kingdom.
The Westminster Dragoons operated from Fulham House in London as a yeomanry regiment within the British Army Reserve structure.
The regiment served in South Africa during the Second Boer War in 1902 and later participated in the Gallipoli campaign of World War I.
The regiment recruited members from wealthy merchants and bankers of London, earning the nickname 'Piccadilly Peacocks' for their refined appearance.
The Westminster Dragoons converted from cavalry to an armored car unit in 1920, adapting to new military technology requirements.
The unit led British forces onto the beaches during the Normandy Invasion of 1944, marking a crucial role in World War II operations.
