Horses belonging to the 7th Queen's Own Hussars at an identified location on the northwest frontier in India – most likely for their only major battle in the area at Shabqadar.
Raised in 1690, the British cavalry regiment arrived in India during the mutiny of 1857, during which it won its only two Victoria Crosses.
It stayed in India until 1871, with only one major skirmish, against tribesmen in Shabqadar, who fled after three charges.
In 1957, the 7th Queen's Own Hussars were amalgamated with the 3rd The King's Own Hussars, to form The Queen's Own Hussars the following year.
