About This Book

The volume compiles a chronological regimental history of a cavalry regiment, detailing its original formation, subsequent stations and deployments, and engagements in battles, sieges, and military operations. It records captured colours, trophies, casualty lists, honours and medals awarded, badges and devices granted, and biographical sketches of colonels and notable officers. Drawn from official orders and Adjutant‑General materials, the narrative explains organizational changes, service abroad, hardships of campaigning, and examples of individual gallantry, with documentary extracts and administrative records intended to preserve institutional memory and to illustrate the regiment's traditions and esprit de corps.
