Changes

This was one of the new regiments created in 1858 in the aftermath of the [[Indian Mutiny]] with European (i.e. British) troopers rather than Indian ones. The officers were drawn from those surviving from the old [[1st Bengal Light Cavalry]] (which had mutinied at [[Mhow]]) and the [[3rd Bengal Light Cavalry]] (which had been the first cavalry regiment to mutiny at [[Meerut]] in May 1857)
