12th Indian Cavalry Brigade

The 12th Indian Cavalry Brigade was a prominent military formation of the British Indian Army, established during the early 20th century. It played a significant role in various campaigns, particularly during World War I and World War II. Initially raised in 1917, the brigade consisted primarily of Indian cavalry regiments, showcasing the strategic importance of mounted troops in the region. Throughout its operational history, the brigade participated in key battles across the Middle East and North Africa. After India's independence in 1947, the brigade was restructured and integrated into the Indian Army, contributing to post-colonial military developments. The formation's legacy endures, highlighting the evolution of cavalry tactics in modern warfare.
