"In August 1857 the Lahore Light Horse was formed, consisting of drummer boys of mutinied infantry and cavalry corps, and other Eurasians, about 160 strong (i. e. two troops or one squadron), mounted on Government horses of the mutinied cavalry, under command of Captain Snow. They were first employed in quelling the Googaira emeute, then they were despatched to Hindoostan, and have served with credit at Lucknow, in Rohilcund, and Allahabad."[1]
