The 15th (Imperial Service) Cavalry Brigade was a formation of the British Indian Army that played a significant role during World War I in the Middle Eastern theatre. Constituted in 1914, the brigade comprised three cavalry regiments primarily drawn from the princely states of India, reflecting the collaboration between British military forces and local rulers. The brigade was integral to various operations aimed at supporting the Allied powers against the Ottoman Empire. Notably, it participated in the Campaign of 1917, where it demonstrated notable effectiveness in cavalry charges and reconnaissance missions.
