9th Regiment (Light) Dragoons Guidon, 1790 (c)

The 9th Dragoons were ordered to become Light Dragoons in 1783 but owing to the regiment being in Ireland they were not completely uniformed and equipped as such until 1804. This guidon was in the possession of the family of Lieutenant-Colonel Antony P Lefroy who was commanding officer of the 9th Light Dragoons between June 1785 and July 1791. It was probably given to Lefroy when the guidons were changed.
