Major-General William Stanhope, 1st Earl of Harrington Lieutenant-General Henry Hawley Lieutenant-General Humphrey Bland Colonel James Gardiner Major General Sir Charles Powlett Field Marshal Henry Seymour Conway General Sir Baker Russell The 13th Hussars (previously the 13th Light Dragoons) was a cavalry regiment of the British Army established in 1715.

[4] During the 1745 Jacobite Rising, it was commanded by James Gardiner; largely composed of recruits, on 16 September the regiment was routed by a small party of Highlanders in the so-called 'Coltbridge Canter.

[13] The report reaching Lord Wellington seems to have glossed over the epic quality of the charge and emphasised the overlong pursuit.

[14] The historian Sir John Fortescue wrote, "Of the performance of Thirteenth, who did not exceed two hundred men, in defeating twice or thrice their numbers single-handed, it is difficult to speak too highly.

The regiment, which was unbrigaded, formed part of the cavalry force commanded initially by Brigadier Robert Ballard Long and, later in the battle, by Major General Sir William Lumley.

[17] The regiment also saw action at the Battle of Arroyo dos Molinos (October 1811),[18] under Rowland Hill at the Combat of Navas de Membrillo (December 1811),[19] at the Siege of Badajoz (March 1812)[20] and, as part of the 2nd Brigade under Colonel Colquohon Grant, at the Battle of Vitoria (June 1813).

[27] An officer of the 13th wrote: Our last and most brilliant charge, was at the moment that Lord Hill, perceiving the movement of the Prussian army, and finding the French Imperial Guard on the point of forcing a part of the British position, cried out, - "Drive them back, 13th!"

[29] The regiment next saw action, as part of the light brigade under the command of Major General the Earl of Cardigan, at the Battle of Alma in September 1854.

[35] The regiment departed for Canada in September 1866 as part of the response to the Fenian raids and sailed for India in January 1874.

Following the end of the war, 556 officers and men of the regiment left South Africa on the SS City of Vienna, which arrived at Southampton in October 1902.

[35] At Sharquat the regiment charged the hill where the Turkish guns were, and made a dismounted charge up it with fixed bayonets, successfully capturing the guns: İsmail Hakkı Bey, the Turkish commander, was aware of the peace talks at Mudros, and decided to spare his men rather than fight or break out, surrendering on 30 October 1918.
