The regimental headquarters was at Dibrugarh in Assam. It was recruited from the European community in Assam - mostly tea planters. A light horse regiment had a rough strength of approximately 400 men and its troops typically fought as mounted infantry rather than traditional cavalry. A few volunteers from the regiment joined Lumsden's Horse in 1899 raised by Colonel Dugald McTavish Lumsden for service in the Boer War and similarly in 1911 a few volunteers took part in the Abor campaign of 1911-12. It was not mobilized as a unit during World War I or World War II but individuals did serve, mainly with the British Indian Army. The regiment was disbanded when India became independent in August 1947. {{UK-mil-unit-stub}}{{BritishIndia-mil-stub}} 4 : Military units and formations established in 1891|Indian World War I regiments|Indian World War II regiments|Dibrugarh |
