Four cavalry regiments have carried the number Nineteen in the British Army: Drogheda’s Horse, raised in Ireland in 1759; a short-lived corps of 1779; the light dragoons raised for India in 1781; and the later Nineteenth Hussars. Biddulph traces their campaigns and colourful officers, including one who rode overland to India and fought a duel on the way.
