India: Officer of the 7th Hariana Lancers. Caricature style gouache painting by Godfrey Herbert Brennan (1875-1948), 1909. The 7th Hariana Lancers was formed in 1846 as a regiment of Bengal Irregular Cavalry raised in Meerut and Cawnpore by Captain Liptrott. The Regiment was raised after the First Sikh War in anticipation of the Second War starting. When the Second Sikh War broke out, they did not become involved in any engagements but found themselves in the reserve force. In 1857 when the Indian Rebellion broke out they were stationed on the North West Frontier and remained loyal.
