Do you know the equippement of these two regiments during their employement in north africa as Reconaissance cavalry reiments of the 4th and 5th and 10th indian infantry divisions...
I'm a bit confused about them: truks, carriers, carriers indian pattern or armoured cars....
They had organic machineguns or anti tank guns, mortars...
They were, as so often happened within the 8th army, employed frequently detached to other units maybe just one squadron or so...
Thank you

Central India Horse where the divisional reconnausance for 4th Indian Division from august 1940 until april 1942 and then again from february 1944 until march 1946.
in there first stint they were equiped with armoured cars (we have mention of Marmon Harrington in our records) though later in the war we have them equiped with White Scout Cars.
