[1] A light horse regiment was roughly equivalent to half a battalion in strength (~ 400 men) and its troops typically fought as mounted infantry rather than traditional cavalry.
It was not mobilized as a unit during World War I or World War II but individuals did serve, mainly with the British Indian Army.
The regiment was disbanded when India became independent in August 1947.
