A Victorian 16th Queens Lancers Sabretache, bearing the regimentÍs device in gilt, mounted for display, with brass plaque ï16th The Queens LancersÍ, framed and glazed, the reverse inscribed in paint ïCol Wyndham QuinÍ, 42cm x 39cm. The 16th Queens Lancers. The regiment was raised as the second of the new regiments of light dragoons in 1759, as the 16th Regiment of (Light) Dragoons, also known as BurgoyneÍs Light Horse. In 1766 they were renamed after Queen Charlotte as the 2nd (or The QueenÍs) Regiment of (Light) Dragoons, the number being an attempt to create a new numbering system for the light dragoon regiments. However, the old system was quickly reestablished, with the regiment returning as the 16th (The QueenÍs) Regiment of (Light) Dragoons in 1769.They arrived in New York in September, 1776. They were involved in fighting at Brandywine, Paoli, and Monmouth Court House. They returned to Britain in December, 1778.They became lancers in 1816, as the 16th (The QueenÍs) Regiment of (Light) Dragoons (Lancers). The title was simplified in 1861 to the 16th (The QueenÍs) Lancers. After service in the First World War, the regiment retitled as the 16th The QueenÍs Lancers in 1921, and was amalgamated with the 5th Royal Irish Lancers to form the 16th/5th Lancers (later the 16th/5th The QueenÍs Royal Lancers) the following year.
