[3] Following the siege of Delhi, on 20 September 1857, Hodson took 50 men from the regiment, rode to Humayun's Tomb, and captured the Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar.

On 25 January 1858, Hodson with 200 of his men and three other British officers were part of a column commanded by Brigadier Adrian Hope against an army of 5,000 rebels encamped at Shamshabad.

[9] Lieutenant Hugh Henry Gough was awarded the Victoria Cross for his bravery at Alambagh on 12 November 1857 and at Jellalabad, Lucknow on 25 February 1858.

They laid siege to a town called Mianganj and cleared the enemy, but lost an Indian officer, Naib-Risaldar Hukm Singh.

On 25 February 1858, 374 men of Hodson's Horse were part of a cavalry force at Alambagh led by Colonel Campbell of the Queen's Bays.

Daly played a major role in reorganising the regiment: more troops were recruited, including Pathans, muster rolls were created, and accounts were organised.

[3][12][13] The regiments of Hodson's Horse were involved in multiple smaller conflicts to suppress the mutiny – in Daudpur on 20 October 1858 against the Nasirabad brigade; at Dholpur on 27 October 1858; at Gonda on 25 November 1858 where they routed a large force led by the Rajah of Gonda; at Basantpur on 23 December 1858; at Jarwa Pass on 31 March 1859 and at Lalpur in May 1859.

The regiment then spent four years at Mian Mir and in 1868, were part of a punitive expedition to the Black mountains in Hazara, but they saw no action.

Whilst in Malta, the force was inspected by the Duke of Cambridge, who bestowed his title on the 10th Bengal Cavalry, which was represented by one squadron.

The eventual destination of the forces stationed in Malta was Cyprus, which had been ceded to Britain by Turkey in exchange for their support against Russia.

The regiment moved from Wazirabad to Kanpur, where they received lances and related equipment and reached Suakin in March 1885 under the command of Lieutenant Colonel AP Palmer.

[14] Many men and a large number of horses were sent for remount duties to South Africa and many British officers for active service for the Second Boer War.

Its convoy reached Marseille on 7 November, moved to Orléans, where it was trained with British soldiers for trench warfare for 10 days.

[21] On 21 December, Hodson's Horse was inducted to La Bassée, where it fought in the trenches full of water and dirt.

In June 1916, it fought protracted actions earning more battle honours – Somme, Bazentin and Flers – Courcelette.

They marched from Nazareth to Damascus, where Risaldar Nur Ahmed of Hodson's Horse made hundreds of Turks surrender to him.

[22][15] On 18 September the Division moved to El Jelil and next day early morning attacked the front line and right flank and captured lt.

‘C’ and ‘D’ Squadrons of the Regiment captured 70 prisoners, guns and other war material while crossing Nahr El Falik and Murkhalid.

[22] On 30 September, in an action where 9th Hodson's Horse was leading, Major MD Vigors commanding ‘D’ Squadron got an input of 70 Turkish soldiers advancing to Kiswe.

In these 38 days, the Regiment covered a total of 567 miles and made a major contribution to the Division's tally of 1100 prisoners of war and 58 canons.

The battle honours awarded to 9th Hodson's Horse in the Middle Eastern theatre were Megiddo, Palestine, Sharon, Damascus, Khan-Baghdadi and Mesopotamia.

[citation needed] The 10th Duke of Cambridge's Own Lancers (Hodson's Horse) was stationed at Loralai in Balochistan under the 4th (Quetta) Division, when the First World War broke out in August 1914.

The 10th Lancers initially served as part of the Tigris Defences, guarding the lines of communication between Amara and Sheikh Sa’ad.

[24][25] The Regiment spent the next three years serving in Mesopotamia, but it would be during the Iraqi revolt of 1920, that the 10th Lancers suffered its heaviest casualties.

[36][37] The Commandant, Lieutenant Colonel (later Brigadier) MMS Bakshi's tank got detached from the main body of the regiment owing to moving through the tall sugarcane crops.

With him apart from the gunner and driver of the tank was his regimental signal cum intelligence officer, Lieutenant (later Brigadier) Ravi Malhotra, who was performing the duties of the radio operator-cum–loader.

Bakshi then fired back at them with his revolver and ordered his crew to get into the sugarcane crop, through which they moved on foot and after some time they were fortunate to be picked up by a squadron of the Poona Horse and eventually joined up with their own regiment.

His regiment spearheaded the advance capturing in its wake several Pakistan Army positions in villages namely Bhairo Nath, Thakurdwara, Bari Lagwal, Chamrola, Darman, Chakra and Dehlra and took in the famous Battle of Basantar.
