After serving in 1857 in Delhi and Lucknow, the unit became a regular cavalry regiment along with the Punjab Frontier Force. It participated in the Second Afghan War (1879-1880). After the frontier operations between 1894-1898, the Regiment never served in the frontier region again, and the Punjab Frontier Force was absorbed into the Indian Army.

During the second world war, it fought against all the three axis powers, a unique experience in the British Indian army. After Partition it fought in all three Indo-Pak conflicts |
