The 26th Hussars was a cavalry regiment of the British Army from 1941 to 1943.[1]
The regiment was raised at Meerut in June 1941 from a cadre of personnel taken from the 14th/20th King's Hussars.[1] It was assigned to the 2nd Indian Armoured Brigade and was later moved to the 255th Indian Armoured Brigade at Sialkot.[2]
Its badge was based on the Prussian eagle borne by the 14th/20th (but with the orb and sceptre reversed) with the addition of the regimental number on a scroll underneath.[3]
It was disbanded at Bolarum, near Secunderabad, in October 1943.[1] Some of the personnel were transferred to the 3rd Carabiniers, but the majority joined the Chindits force under Orde Wingate.[2]
