14th Light Horse Regiment

14th Light Horse Regiment

The 14th Light Horse Regiment was a unit of the Australian Imperial Force formed during World War I

The unit was formed in Queensland, Australia, in March 1916 for The Third Division, Departed from Sydney on the steamship Beltana 13 May 1916. The 14th Light Horse Regiment was originally intended to be the Light Horse Regiment of the 3rd Division. Before it could be formed, the establishment was reduced to only one Squadron per Division. Accordingly, only 'A' Squadron was formed. It accompanied the 3rd Division to England where it was disbanded, the infantry division establishment having been changed again in the mean time to remove the divisional mounted troops.
