5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards

The 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards was a cavalry regiment of the British Army, established in 1922 through the merger of two older regiments. It served primarily as a mounted unit, later transitioning to armored vehicles, and participated in major conflicts like World War II. Known for its tradition and discipline, the regiment played a significant role in Britain’s military history, especially in campaigns across Europe and North Africa. It was disbanded in 1993, but its legacy remains part of the British Army’s armored corps heritage.
