A British officer, two Indian officers and Indian NCOs of Hodson's Horse, 1920s (c)

Photograph, Mullick Photo House, India, 1920s (c).

The 10th Duke of Cambridge's Own Lancers (Hodson's Horse) were one of the Indian Army's cavalry regiments selected to be 'Indianised' during the 1920s. The appointment of new British subalterns was ended and entirely new Indian officer cadres formed. Previously, all Indian commissioned officers had ranked below the most junior British subaltern, and unable to command either British troops or their own units.
