chris basey Posted 25 August , 2003 Share Posted 25 August , 2003 I have a photocopy of an article (on a topic of interest to me) which appears to come from a publication entitled 'The Dehli Spearsman'. In it there is mention of the 9th Lancers and I wonder it someone knows whether this would have been their Regimental Magazine. The 9th's badge incorporates crossed lances so it is quite logical but I would like some confirmation. Hand written on the page is the date March 1928 - the topic relates to WW1.

charlesmessenger Posted 25 August , 2003 Share Posted 25 August , 2003 Chris Yes, The Delhi Speaman was the Regimental journal of the 9th Lancers and also of its successor the 9th/12th Lancers. Charles M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Mackenzie Posted 25 August , 2003 Share Posted 25 August , 2003 Chris. The website below is the unoffical website of the 9th/12th Lancers and, as Charles says, the history indicates that this is indeed their nickname earned during the Indian Mutiny. 9th Lancers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
