Transferred from the 3rd (King's Own) Hussars

 

 

The war diary of the 3rd (King's Own) Hussars at the end of August 1917 states:

Notice has been received that the dismounted men now with cavalry regiments are to be done away with.

And on 15 September:

56 other ranks of the regiment proceeded by rail from Hesdin to the Rouen Base for transfer to Infantry on the reduction of the 100 dismounted men allowed to Cavalry regiments.

Similar reductions took place in other cavalry regiments at this time.

Between 28 and 34 of these men, mostly from the 3rd Hussars, were transferred to the 1st North Irish Horse Regiment on 11 October 1917.

Their names are listed below.
