'''Cavalry''' is the collective term for [[soldier]]s who fought on horseback and engage in face to face combat with the enemy. They were usually armed with swords or lances.
They are distinguishable from [[infantry]] and [[artillery]] troops. Mounted infantry who fought dismounted were called [[dragoon]]s,. == Related articles ==For more details of the cavalry involved in British India see the article following:* [[British Army Cavalry Regiments]] and the article *[[Bengal Cavalry Regiments]]*[[Madras Cavalry Regiments]]*[[East India Company ArmyBombay Cavalry Regiments]] for links details of cavalry regiments in the Presidency armies
