14th Cavalry Brigade (British Indian Army)

The 14th Cavalry Brigade was a formation of the British Indian Army, active primarily during the early 20th century. Established in the context of British military strategy in India, the brigade played a pivotal role in various campaigns, especially during World War I and the interwar period. Comprising several cavalry regiments, including the renowned British and Indian units, the brigade was instrumental in maintaining British colonial interests and facilitating troop mobility across the diverse terrains of the Indian subcontinent. Notably, it participated in operations against tribal unrest, rebellions, and during the global conflict of the First World War, showcasing the strategic importance of cavalry in colonial warfare. The brigade's legacy continues to influence modern military organization and tactics in the region.
