Yeoman : (과거 영국에서) 자작농[소작농], (해군)하사관, 하급장교, (미국)충성스럽고 열심히 일하는 사람
Yeoman Service : 훌륭한 조력, 충실한 봉사, 믿을만한 공헌, 충실한 공헌
Yeoman of the guard : (왕실의) 근위병

 

1)
yeoman of the guard, this is a military group who are in charge of looking after the royal household
they are soldiers of the king and his family 
there are effectively a military group who are in charge of the safety of the king and the king's family 

 

 

2)

a yeoman, also there is actually a military, a navy rank 
a yeoman is a petty officer or low officer who normally nowadays I think in charge of signals

 

 

3)
I guess you could also use this word yeoman, taking about somebody who does really good service
somebody who is been loyal and has worked very hard for something 
he did yeoman's service for our cause 
to do, to give, to provide yeoman's service
I hope my blog has done yeoman sevice for your English 

to give yeoman service, being used as a modifier to give good, loyal, stalwart service to a company or to a cause or to a team as well

 

 

4)
In the US, you coud use a yeoman as well, to talk about somebody who is a stalward worker
somebody who is dependable, loyal 
they've gone great serviec over a very long time
in British English, I wouldn't use it like that (in British the use of phrase 'yeoman service' is very common)



  
Formality : 6 - 6.5
