5928027 Pouch badge, 9th Regiment of Bengal Lancers, 1886-1901 (silver) by British School, (19th century); National Army Museum, London; (add.info.: Pouch badge, 9th Regiment of Bengal Lancers, 1886-1901.
Silver plate badge in the form of a numeral 9, on crossed lances, with a scroll with the unit title, Bengal Lancers, with a separate crown.
The 9th Bengal Lancers evolved from Hodsons Horse, an irregular cavalry unit raised by Brevet Major William Hodson during the Indian Mutiny (1857-1859). The 9th Bengal Cavalry was one of three regiments formed from Hodsons Horse. Converting to the lance in 1885, the 9th served in the Sudan campaign (1885-1886) and on the North West Frontier from 1895 to 1898. During World War One (1914-1918) the regiment served on the Western Front and in Palestine.
In 1921 9th Hodsons Horse were amalgamated with 10th Duke of Cambridges Own Lancers (Hodsons Horse), forming the 4th Duke of Cambridges Own Hodsons Horse in the following year. Post-independence, the 4th (Hodson s) Horse retained its founders name, as part of Indias armoured force.
