21st Lancers

The 21st Lancers was a British cavalry regiment raised in 1922, combining elements from earlier lancer units. Lancers were horse-mounted soldiers armed with lances, traditionally used for both charging and combat. The regiment served primarily in British territories, including India, and participated in various military duties and conflicts. Known for their distinctive uniforms and cavalry skills, the 21st Lancers represented the continuation of Britain’s cavalry tradition into the 20th century, adapting over time as warfare evolved. The regiment was disbanded in 1955, but remains a notable part of British military history.
