W+C Yeomanry

  I assume this is the Westmorland and Cumberland yeomanry. But they are no part of the 5th division though.

  I think you're right that it's the Westmoreland and Cumberland Yeomanry, Erik. I can only assume this is a case of different divisional units assisting one another temporarily. The 1st W&C Yeomanry retrained as infantry during 1916 and became part of the 7th Bn, The Border Regiment. I imagine it's this unit being referred to.
