*2nd Troop Bengal Horse Artillery was formed on the 4th of August 1809 in Acra,(Agra?) India, with the majority of the other ranks being British. This fact and that the Battery were all mounted to ensure greater manoeuvrability, was unusual during this period. It is now part of K (Hondeghem) Battery Royal Horse Artillery.

*The Bengal Rocket Troop was raised on 13 September 1816 as a camel mounted unit under the command of Captain (later General) William Samsen Whish. The troop carried a total of 912 six pound rockets, either in buckets on camels, or horse drawn trolleys. It switched back to horses in 1817. It was re-titled 2nd Troop, 2nd Brigade Bengal Horse Artillery in 1826 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/132_Battery_(The_Bengal_Rocket_Troop)_Royal_Artillery Wikipedia]
