Image description

Collar badge, Calcutta Light Horse, 1901-1947. Brass badge with a King’s crown over the unit ‘CLH’ monogram, with the unit’s motto, ‘Defence not Defiance’ on a scroll. Raised in 1872 as the Calcutta Volunteer Lancers, the Calcutta Light Horse was an auxiliary unit within the British Indian Army Cavalry Reserve. The unit achieved notoriety during World War Two, when personnel from the unit participated in Operation CREEK in 1943. CREEK was a sabotage mission, organised by the Special Operations Executive, to blow up German shipping involved in transmitting intelligence from a neutral port in Portuguese Goa. The unit was disbanded in 1947 when India gained Independence. From the Field Marshal Sir John Chapple Indian Army Collection.
