In 1903, Lord Kitchener's Indian Army reforms were implemented, under which the 2nd Bombay Lancers was renamed as the 32nd Bombay Lancers, and this was the regiment's title as they entered the First World War. After a period of pre-war service at Sialkot in the Punjab, the regiment relocated to Jubbulpore Cantonment just before the beginning of the First World War.
