25th Dragoons

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 25th Dragoons was a cavalry regiment of the British Army from 1941 to 1947.

The regiment was raised in June 1941 from a cadre of personnel taken from the 3rd Carabiniers along with volunteers from infantry regiments, and was assigned to 254th Indian Armoured Brigade. It later operated in India and Burma with Indian XV Corps.

It finished the war in Burma, and then was based in Madras and Bangalore before being disbanded in 1947.
