The 21st Light Dragoons was a cavalry regiment of the British Army. It was raised on 5 April 1760, as the 21st Light Dragoons (Royal Forresters) by John, Marquis of Granby, and Lord Robert Manners-Sutton. This first regiment was however disbanded at Nottingham on 3 March 1763.[1] It was raised again in 1779 by Major-General John Douglas and disbanded in Canterbury in 1783.[2] The regiment was raised a third time in 1794 in the north of England when it was also known as the Yorkshire Light Dragoons, served in Ireland during the Napoleonic Wars and was disbanded in Chatham in 1819.[3] Regimental colonels were Colonel Thomas Richard Beaumont (1794–1802) and General Sir Banastre Tarleton, Bt., (1802–?1818)[4] In India another 21st regiment was raised in 1862, by renaming the 3rd Bengal European Cavalry, which eventually became the 21st Lancers, but they have no affiliation to the 21st Light Dragoons.[5] References1. ^{{cite web|accessdate=31 August 2012|title=21st Dragoons (Royal Foresters)|publisher=National Archives|url=http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/topictermdetail.asp?fldAFGroup=4&fldAFTermID=12475}} {{Commons category|21st Light Dragoons}}2. ^{{cite web|accessdate=31 August 2012|publisher=National Archives|title=21st Light Dragoons|url=http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/topictermdetail.asp?fldAFGroup=4&fldAFTermID=10824}} 3. ^{{cite web|accessdate=31 August 2012|publisher=National Archives|title=21st Light Dragoons 1085|url=http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/topictermdetail.asp?fldAFGroup=4&fldAFTermID=10825}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.regiments.org:80/regiments/uk/cav/D21a.htm |title=21st Regiment of (Light) Dragoons |accessdate=8 February 2018 |last=Mills |first=T.F. |work=regiments.org |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060718185004/http://www.regiments.org/regiments/uk/cav/D21a.htm |archivedate=2006-07-18 |df= }} 5. ^{{cite web|accessdate=31 August 2012|publisher=National Archives|title=21st Hussars|url=http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/topictermdetail.asp?fldAFGroup=4&fldAFTermID=10826}} 2 : Cavalry regiments of the British Army|1760 establishments in Great Britain |
