EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the 2nd Madras Regiment Light Cavalry in full dress dismounted order in 1860. The men, dressed in tunics and overalls that closely follow the British pattern, stand together as a unified force. Originally established for the Nawab of Arcot's Army as the 3rd Regiment of Cavalry (Stevenson's), this unit transitioned to British service as the 3rd Madras Native Cavalry in 1784. In 1819, it was renamed the 2nd Madras Light Cavalry. The image showcases a portrait of these brave soldiers who served under challenging circumstances during their time. Their headwear and uniforms reflect their commitment to duty and honor.
