Indian Cavalry Corps

The Indian Cavalry Corps was a key military unit of the British Indian Army, composed of soldiers mounted on horses. It was responsible for rapid reconnaissance, flank protection, and quick offensive actions during warfare. The corps played significant roles in both World Wars and various regional conflicts, utilizing mobility and horse-mounted tactics before mechanized units became dominant. Its soldiers, often recruited from Indian communities, contributed greatly to India's military history, exemplifying a blend of traditional cavalry skills and modern warfare strategies.
