The Royal Gloucestershire Hussars was a regiment of British volunteer Yeomanry Cavalry that traced its origins to a troop of yeomanry raised in Gloucestershire in 1795. It was officered by nobility and gentry, and its ranks were recruited largely from among landholders and tenant farmers. During the 19th century, it was deployed in ceremonial duties and as mounted police during times of civil unrest. It won its first battle honour for service in South Africa during the Second Boer War. In 1908, it became part of the Territorial Force, and during the First World War the regiment saw action as infantry at Gallipoli and as cavalry in the Sinai and Palestine campaign. It converted to armour just before the Second World War and fought in the North African Campaign. After several post-war reorganisations, the regiment was reduced to a squadron, and its lineage is maintained by C (Royal Gloucestershire Hussars) Squadron of the Royal Wessex Yeomanry.
