7th Hussars

The 7th Hussars were on a routine posting in South Africa when three squadrons, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Harold Paget, were ordered to Mafeking where troops were being assembled for the 1896 Matabele Rebellion. Throughout 1896 the regiment operated in the area of Gwelo, patrolling regularly alongside Mounted Infantry made up with men from the 2nd Yorks and Lancs. The column was usually commanded by Colonel Baden-Powell. In November A and D squadrons marched to Bulawayo where a camp had been prepared for them. In 1897 the 7th Hussars took part in the Mashonaland Rebellion.
