14th Murray's Jat Lancers
The 14th Murray's Jat Lancers was a distinguished cavalry regiment of the British Indian Army, originating from the richly diverse regions of India during the late 19th century. Formed in 1857, the regiment incorporated Jat soldiers, primarily from the culturally significant Jat communities of Haryana and Punjab, who were known for their equestrian skills and martial prowess. The regiment served prominently during various campaigns, including the Second Anglo-Afghan War and World War I, showcasing resilience and valor. Renowned for their traditional cavalry tactics, the 14th Murray's Jat Lancers played a critical role in the British military framework in India before eventually transitioning into the Indian Army post-independence in 1947, where it continues a legacy of excellence.
