13th Cavalry Brigade (British Indian Army)

The 13th Cavalry Brigade was a prominent formation of the British Indian Army, notable for its operational contributions during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Established in the late 19th century, the brigade was primarily involved in maintaining British colonial interests in India and protecting the frontier against potential threats. It played a critical role in several key military campaigns, including actions during the Second Anglo-Afghan War. Comprising several cavalry regiments, the brigade exemplified the strategic use of mounted troops in colonial warfare. The 13th Cavalry Brigade disbanded in the interwar period, reflecting the broader changes in military organization and focus in British India as the country moved towards independence.
