Most of the Indian regiments at the front are officially known only by their numbers, though they have names which great achievements have made famous, The 11th 15th and 13th Lancers, much better known as Probyn's Horse, Curetons Mooltanis and Watson's Horse, are cases in point, Two, however, are privileged to be exceptions, Hod-son's Horse and fam Browne's Cavalry. The latter figures in one of the recent lists of casualties published by the War office. The regiment was raised in 1849 upon the annexation of the Punjab and was originally a portion of the Frontier Force, with the 2nd Punjab Iry for its title. The Indian Mutiny gave it its chance to win distinction, an opportunity, of which the very most was made at the capture of Delhi and in the relief and capture of Lucknow.
