Regiments Classic Collection

The British 10th Light Dragoons at the end of the Eighteenth Century. Originally raised in 1715 as Humphrey Gore's Regiment of Dragoons, in 1782 George, Prince of Wales, was appointed Colonel Commandant of the Tenth Light Dragoons. In 1793, the regiment was retitled 10th Light Dragoons 'The Prince of Wales' Own.' His pride in the Dragoons was such that in 1793 he spent his thirty-first birthday with the regiment, then encamped at Brighton. Look for additions to this collection later this year.
