The History of Skinners Horse.

Maj A M Daniels.

This Regimental History has a good clear narrative, with plenty of detail of every kind. The early campaigns receive good coverage, followed by an interesting account of WWI Services in France and on the NWF. The story concludes with the Third Afghan War. Extracts from the Bengal and Indian Army Lists for the years 1839, 1844, 1857, 1914 and 1923 are inserted in the main text. The 1st and 3rd Lancers were amalgamated in 1921 to form the 1st/3rd Cavalry. The title was changed again in 1922 to the 1st Duke of Yorks Own Skinners Horse. Honours and Awards (all ranks, with Gazette details) List of Commandants and Officers serving in 1922.
