Description
Excerpt from Old Memories
Mutiny we were mounted on horses the property of Government, the men dressed in dragoon costume, officered by a full complement of British officers, and drilled to perfection as dragoons. In the 3rd Light Cavalry we used to pride ourselves on being steadier on parade than the British cavalry regiment then stationed at Meerut; and proud we were of the old regiment.
Our commanding officer was Lieu tenant-colonel G. Carmichael Smyth our adjutant, Lieutenant Sanford, afterwards a most brilliant gab/rear in the Mutiny, who lost his life at the siege of Lucknow under very sad circumstances.
