About This Book

A regimental history of a British light cavalry unit traces its rise from mid-eighteenth-century origins through periods of reform, foreign deployments, and colonial campaigns. It chronicles training, organization, equipment, and administrative change, and narrates participation in conflicts including the American War, West Indies operations and the Maroon War, expeditions to Ostend and the Plata region, service in India and the Pindari campaign, the Crimea and the Indian Mutiny, and later actions such as the Zulu War. The account draws on official despatches, muster rolls, personal recollections, and archival material, and is supplemented by illustrations, officers’ lists, movement logs, and technical appendices on pay and accoutrements.
