2nd King Edward's Horse

The 2nd King Edward's Horse (The King's Overseas Dominions Regiment) was a cavalry regiment of the British Army, formed in 1914, which saw service in the First World War.

It was formed of British colonial citizens who were in Britain at the start of the war.

[2] The original regiment was subsequently known as 1st King Edward's Horse.

[3] It was disbanded in August 1917 with many of its members being transferred to the Tank Corps.

[4] A memorial to those members of the regiment who died in the war was erected on the wall in the Royal Colonial Institute at Charing Cross in 1925 but did not survive the demolition of that building in 1934.
